Yamamoto Yoshinobu, the Japanese ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers, won a complete game in eight years in autumn baseball.

Yamamoto started Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League Postseason at American Family Field in Milwaukee on the 15th (Korea time).

Yamamoto pitched 111 pitches in nine innings. He allowed three hits, one run, one walk, seven strikeouts, and shut out the game.




The Dodgers won five to one. He will return to his home L.A. with two wins and no losses in the series.

The Dodgers are showing off their potential as the postseason progresses.

In fact, the Dodgers were not strong contenders for this year's championship. Although he won the championship in the division, his weaknesses were clear. He has exposed tremendous bullpen anxiety since the second half of the regular season. The must-winners Blake Treinen and Scott Tanner shook sharply.




The Dodgers had the lowest bullpen ERA among the six clubs that advanced to the National League postseason. The Dodgers ranked 11th overall in the National League with a 4.27 ERA in the regular season bullpen.

Perhaps that's why the Dodgers' starters exuded mysterious power in the fall baseball season.

In the first game of the Championship Series, Blake Snell pitched eight innings of one hit, 10 strikeouts and no runs, and Yamamoto, the starter of the second game, showed a superhuman performance.




If the bullpen is weak, you don't have to use the bullpen.

Yamamoto took full responsibility for one game.

According to MLB.COM, the official Major League website, it is the first postseason complete victory in eight years since Justin Verlander of the 2017 American League Championship Series.

It was also the first complete game for the Dodgers since Jose Lima's shutout against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 National League Championship Series.

At the same time, he became the first Japanese to win a complete game in the Major League postseason.

Yamamoto went 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA in 173 ⅔ innings in 30 pennant races this year. Yamamoto is set for the 2024 seasonIt signed a 12-year, $325 million (about 462.6 billion won) mega contract with Jus. In other words, they are paying the ransom properly.
