Dodgers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Brewers
Digest more
When his day was done, Yamamoto had allowed four hits, one home run and two walks. He didn't record a strikeout. A seventh Brewer reached on a throwing error by shortstop Mookie Betts that allowed the last two runs of the inning to score.
The Brewers optioned Vaughn to Triple-A Nashville after the trade, then recalled him prior to Monday's series opener in Milwaukee. It was his first major league game since May 21. The home run came in his first at-bat.
Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered five runs in the first inning, struggling through his worst MLB game during a loss to the Brewers.
It’s a compelling pitching matchup between Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Brewers veteran Freddy Peralta, but my Dodgers vs. Brewers predictions and MLB picks lean toward L.A.'s offense taking advantage of Peralta in the series opener.
