“Unleashing the Beast: Tommy Edman’s Power Surge Powers Dodgers Past Cubs!”
“He was just dotting tonight,” said Freeman, who aided Yamamoto’s cause on a relay play that caught Chicago’s Seiya Suzuki in a rundown during the fourth inning. “Down and away. The splitter was down. Two-seamer running in on the righties’ hands. He just had everything going tonight. He’s looked like that since spring training. Looks like he’s on a mission this year.”
Yamamoto’s lone walk came to his penultimate batter, missing with a full-count curveball to Ian Happ with two outs in the sixth. But in another full count to star Cubs slugger Kyle Tucker in the next at-bat, Yamamoto snapped off a swing-and-miss cutter, getting a standing ovation from the crowd and a long hug from Roberts in the dugout after lowering his earned-run average to 1.23 through four starts (fourth best in the NL).
