\n NEW YORK (Kyodo) — Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossed six innings of one-run ball and earned the 100th win of his combined Japanese and U.S. professional baseball career as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Mets 4-3 on Saturday.
\n<\/p>\n
\n Yamamoto’s win at Citi Field was his 30th in Major League Baseball after joining the Dodgers ahead of the 2024 season.
\n<\/p>\n
\n The 27-year-old right-hander recorded all 70 of his Nippon Professional Baseball wins as a member of the Orix Buffaloes.
\n<\/p>\n
\n Yamamoto (11-6) struck out five while allowing five hits and three walks. He surrendered his only run on a two-out single in the bottom of the fifth.
\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’m happy to reach 100 wins,” said Yamamato, who threw 65 of his 100 pitches for strikes. “My pitch count ran high and I had to grind it out. Being able to give up only one run over six innings despite such conditions is one area where I’ve grown.”
\n<\/p>\n
\n Two-way star Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-5 batting leadoff as the Dodgers’ designated hitter. He postponed a bullpen session scheduled for earlier in the day due to nagging irritation with his left knee.
\n<\/p>\n
\n In other MLB action, Shota Imanaga (7-8) pitched six shutout innings for the Chicago Cubs in their 11-0 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
\n<\/p>\n
\n The Japanese left-hander allowed four hits while striking out four and walking one as he outdueled Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes (9-9) at PNC Park.
\n<\/p>\n
\n Seiya Suzuki drove in two runs with a line-drive single to right field in the top of the fifth during a 1-for-5 outing.
