Yamamoto started an away game against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on the 8th (Korea time) and was withdrawn without completing one inning.
He took the mound in the bottom of the first inning and was replaced as if he was kicked out with two outcounts. He gave up four hits and two walks against nine batters and allowed five runs. The number of runs increased due to the overlapping defensive errors of his teammates. It is the first time Yamamoto has not exceeded the first inning since his Major League debut.
Yamamoto, who made his big league debut with four hits, one walk and five runs in one inning against the San Diego Padres at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul in March last year, pitched his worst since then.
He has three earned runs in his third five-run game this season. However, it means a lot that he didn't last one inning.

However, Andrew Vaughan threw an 85.2 mile slider on the 5th pitch in 2B2S to a slightly higher course in the middle and was hit with a three-run shot to left-center. It was a large arch with a flying distance of 409 feet, so-called 'hanging slider'.
Then pitcher coach Mark Prior visited the mound when Isaac Collins pulled Yamamoto's 95.5-mile fastball and hit a line drive hit that flew to the right at 107.6 miles. The situation was unusual as there were more pitches. Sure enough. Yamamoto allowed Bryce Turang to walk again on a full count. The Dodgers bullpen began to move.
However, when the inning ended with just one out count, the defense time became longer and four months went by. Yamamoto induced the next batter, Caleb Durbin, to ground out, but first baseman Freddie Freeman missed it when shortstop Mookie Betts caught it well and threw it to first base on a one-bound basis. an obvious mistake in throwing a shortstop. Second baseman Collins homered, and Turang advanced to third base.
Left-hander Jack Dryer was caught on the screen warming up hard in the bullpen. Yamamoto then allowed right-handed batter Andrew Monasterio to throw a 93.7 mile fastball outside and a timely hit to the right. Turang homered to widen the score gap to 0-5.

Yamamoto's ERA worsened from 2.51 to 2.77. The ERA, which had consistently maintained the top five, fell to ninth place in the NL. He is tied for 19th in the pitching innings (97 ⅓), 12th in strikeouts (109), 3rd in the hit rate (0.199) and 5th in the WHIP (1.07). Until early June, he was mentioned as a strong candidate for the NL Cy Young Award, but not anymore.
In the NL, prominent candidates such as Philadelphia Phillies Jack Wheeler (9-3, 2.17, 116 innings, 148K), Pittsburgh Pirates Paul Skins (4-7, 1.94, 116 innings, WHIP 0.92) and San Francisco Giants Logan Webb (8-6, 2.62, 120 ⅓, 133K)?It's running A.
Yamamoto lost face the day after he was selected as an All-Star. Yamamoto, who was listed on the NL All-Star pitching list announced by MLB on the 7th, can take the mound once more in the first half. However, the Dodgers have not confirmed the rotation of the three consecutive away games against San Francisco except for Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow as starters against Milwaukee on the 9th and 10th.
