What Yoshinobu Yamamoto's complete games reveal about Dodgers' star

In Game 2 of the World Series, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto fired a 105-pitch complete game to beat the Blue Jays 5-1 and tie the series. After escaping a first-inning jam, the 27-year-old allowed one run and retired the last 20 batters. He’s now thrown consecutive postseason complete games—the first such feat in 24 years—and delivered the World Series’ first complete game in a decade. A 30-start, 2.49-ERA regular season set the stage, and his performance spared a bullpen Roberts aimed to avoid. Citing Clayton Kershaw as his benchmark, Yamamoto said he “had to win today.”
