- Yoshinobu Yamamoto flirted with perfection — 8 1/3 innings, 109 pitches and seven strikeouts — but gave up a ninth-inning solo homer that spoiled a no-hitter bid.
- The perfect-game bid actually ended earlier when Mookie Betts bobbled a grounder in the eighth, allowing a runner on via error.
- The Dodgers still won 7-1, and Yamamoto (last season’s World Series MVP) has been red-hot — four straight wins and only three earned runs over his last 28 2/3 innings.
