Is Yamamoto the Best Pitcher in Baseball? #baseball #mlb

the Los Angeles Dodgers had one of their sloppiest defensive outings of the Season ultimately falling 6 to3 to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night the game ended with Cub center fielder Pete Crow Armstrong robbing the Dodgers of a potential home run but there was still reason for optimism in La yabu Yamamoto made his long- awaited return and looked as sharp as ever despite the loss yamamoto's performance was a bright spot after being sidelined for 3 months due to a strained rotator cuff the right-hander Li Li mited the Cubs to just one run over four Innings racking up eight strikeouts his fast ball consistently hit over 96 mph while his devastating splitter and curveball kept the Cubs hitters off balance yamamoto's command was particularly impressive especially considering the long layoff it was pretty surprising Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes said I didn't know what to expect after the injury but he looked even better than before the Dodgers have been plagued by injuries in their ation all season and entered the game with only Jack flarity as a sure starter for October but the Outlook improved as yamamoto's dominant return was followed by positive news about Tyler Glau Glau sidelined since August 11th with elbow tendinitis threw a successful Bullpen session and is now scheduled for a simulated game on Friday Yamamoto who signed a 12-year $325 million contract with the Dodgers in the offseason looked like the ace they envisioned Dodgers manager Dave Roberts felt optimis Mystic stating I feel much better about the rotation tonight than I did 24 hours ago Yamamoto struck out three straight batters to begin the game and recorded more strikeouts after Fielding errors allowed a cubs run in the second inning he finished his outing by inducing a double play in the fourth inning he threw 59 pitches and is expected to wrap up to 75 in his next start as he prepares for the postseason we'll take this every time Robert said he's back [Music]
