The rookie right-hander allowed two runs over five innings, marking the first time he reached that distance since being activated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_io6ie7w8k\">\u201cI feel good,\u201d\u00a0Roberts added. \u201cWith Yoshi, I think the pitch count is fine. Getting him through the fifth inning was great. There\u2019s going to be certainly a lot more adrenaline when he makes that [postseason] start. But then he\u2019ll have time to recover. So as far as the build-up, I think he\u2019s in a good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jfcnt7xgq\">Yamamoto, who had been feeling under the weather earlier in the week, started a bit shaky, giving up a home run to Ezequiel Tovar in the third inning. But after that, he found his rhythm, utilizing his mix of pitches\u2014a four-seam fastball, curveball, and splitter\u2014to strike out six batters over his five innings of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_kr70pw1xa\">\u201cIt was not a perfect season for me due to my injury, because I was away from the team,\u201d\u00a0Yamamoto admitted through his translator, Yoshihiro Sonoda. \u201cHowever, I learned a lot, I experienced great things, and my teammates helped accumulate the wins, leading us into October. I really appreciate it and I\u2019ll do my best to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tjyjdmtcb\">Yamamoto finished his rookie season with an impressive 3.00 ERA despite the mid-season shoulder injury that sidelined him for a portion of the year. With the postseason on the horizon, he will look to build on his recent outing, as he&#8217;s expected to pitch five or six innings in either Game 2 or Game 3 of the NL Division Series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bp9usvrwr\">He&#8217;ll face off against either the Padres, who have secured a Wild Card berth, or one of the D-backs, Mets, or Braves, who are still competing for the remaining playoff spots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"viewablity-block\">\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9sea2805g\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a must-win situation,\u201d\u00a0Yamamoto said, looking ahead to his playoff debut.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ll do my best to give everything I\u2019ve got and to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0had already secured the best record in baseball before stepping onto the field in Denver on Saturday.
