Yoshinobu Yamamoto lasted just 2⅔ innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers lost 7-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. The loss leaves the Dodgers down 2-0 in the series and facing elimination.
The Brewers continually fouled off pitches against Yamamoto to drive up his pitch count before knocking him out of the game. Yamamoto said through an interpreter: 'I don't know the exact reason yet. I need to check the videos and then I can reflect on what happened today.'
Yamamoto entered the game as the 2025 World Series MVP with an 8-1 postseason record and 2.14 ERA in 11 career postseason appearances. Last season, he threw a three-hitter and pitched a complete game in Game 2 of the Dodgers' NLCS sweep of Milwaukee. In three previous postseason starts following Dodgers losses, he had gone 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA. The Dodgers were seeking to tie the series and continue their quest to become the first National League team to win three straight World Series titles.
