AI Summary
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven strong innings with eight strikeouts and only three hits allowed, but took a loss in a 1-0 game against the Padres after giving up a solo home run to Miguel Andujar in the early innings. His record dropped to 3-4 despite the quality start.
Yamamoto gave up a homer to the second batter he faced tonight and that was enough to drop him to 3-4, even though he struck out eight and allowed only two other hits. Even the homer was a little cheap; it was 98.1 mph off the bat of Miguel Andujar, and it would have stayed in play in 13 of the 30 ballparks. Yamamoto will likely make his next start Sunday against the Brewers.
