Despite having a lengthy injury layoff, Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a solid first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year. The Japanese pitcher played a vital role in anchoring their rotation in the postseason to help the Dodgers clinch the World Series title.

Yamamoto gave up a grand slam to Gabriel Moreno and a solo home run to Ketel Marte in five innings in a 5-3 loss. His ERA doubled from 0.90 to 1.80.

Gabriel Moreno’s grand slam in fourth inning opens the scoring. Yamamoto allowed more runs Thursday than in his last five starts combined.
