Dodgers Tie World Series Behind Throwback Excellence from Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Yamamoto's second consecutive complete game evened up the Fall Classic in Toronto.
In today's MLB pitching era, bullpens are used strategically, with managers and front offices hesitant to push starting pitchers.
- Managers deploy fresh arms rather than having starters face the same hitters multiple times.
- Complete games are rare, even for pitchers with no-hitters on the line, unless their pitch count is low and their manager trusts them.
During the 2025 regular season, 30 teams combined for 29 complete games, one less than Steve Carlton's 1972 Cy Young-winning season.
The last-place Phils counted on "Lefty" for 346.1 innings. Yowza.
Author's summary: Dodgers tie World Series with Yamamoto's excellence.
