Yoshinobu Yamamoto was aiming for his second consecutive double-digit victory and his 10th win of the season, becoming the fastest Japanese pitcher to do so against the Diamondbacks, but after pitching well, allowing just one run in the fifth inning, he unexpectedly allowed five runs in the sixth inning. The biggest controversy was the decision to avoid Nolan Arenado. Immediately after, James McCann hit a heartbreaking 3-run homer, and the American media and fans focused on Roberts’ decision. Shohei Ohtani recorded his first hit for the team despite suffering from inflammation in his left knee, but he was sent as a pinch hitter in the 8th inning when the Dodgers were down by seven runs, raising concerns about the lack of support in the Dodgers’ batting lineup and the health of key players. Among Yamamoto’s ball control, the depletion of the bullpen the night before, his forced abandonment, pitching with the catcher, and the silent star batting lineup, please let us know your opinion in the comments section as to who is most responsible for this big loss. #Yoshinobu Yamamoto #Shohei Ohtani #Dodgers #Diamondbacks #MLB #Overseas reaction #Yoshinobu Yamamoto 6 runs allowed #Yoshinobu Yamamoto in flames #Manager Roberts #Declared shy away #James McCann #Nolan Arenado #Andy Pages #Mookie Betts #Major League #Dodgers breaking news #MLB breaking news #Baseball #Japanese Major Leaguer
