Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed two runs over five innings and struck out six in the Dodgers’ 13-2 drubbing of the Rockies on Saturday.
Yamamoto threw 71 pitches tonight and averaged 95.5 mph with his fastball. His control, very shaky last time out, was considerably better in this one, and he went without a walk in his five innings. Yamamoto’s regular season ends at 7-2 with a 3.00 ERA. The quantity isn’t what anyone wanted, but the quality was there, particularly with his 105/22 K/BB in 90 innings.
