Yamamoto’s brilliance ended one out short of history, and relievers Blake Treinen and Tanner Scott let it slip away in a 4-3 loss in a 4-3 loss that marked another bullpen collapse.
Tanner Scott is right. Baseball must not like him right now.
Even a near no-hitter wasn’t enough to lift the Dodgers out of the doldrums they have sunk into. Yoshinobu Yamamoto came up one out short of pitching a no-hitter and the Dodgers couldn’t get an out with him, losing for the fifth consecutive game to a last-place team when Scott gave up a walkoff hit for the second night in a row. This time, Emmanuel Rivera’s two-run single gave the Baltimore Orioles a 4-3 victory Saturday night.
Yamamoto gave up a solo home run to Jackson Holliday with two outs in the ninth inning to end his bid to throw the 24th no-hitter in franchise history and the Dodgers’ first since Walker Buehler combined with three relievers to no-hit the San Diego Padres in Monterrey, Mexico, on May 4, 2018.
