Dodgers suffer a last-minute loss against Orioles, as Yoshinobu Yamamoto falls short of achieving a no-hitter by one out.
In a nail-biting game, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a devastating loss against the Baltimore Orioles, ending their no-hitter bid and extending their losing streak to five games.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese pitcher who joined the Dodgers last season after signing a $325 million, 12-year contract, was one out away from clinching a no-hitter. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Blake Treien, the Dodgers' reliever, entered the game.
Treien's performance was less than stellar. He gave up a double, hit a batter, and walked three batters, including Ryan Mountcastle and Colton Cowser. The turning point came when Gunnar Henderson was hit by a pitch, and Jackson Holliday capitalised on the opportunity by hitting a solo home run, ending Yamamoto's no-hitter bid.
The Orioles, sensing their chance, pushed forward. Emmanuel Rivera walked off the Dodgers with a two-run single, sealing the victory for the visiting team. The Dodgers, who were on the brink of securing a win, were left to lament their missed opportunity.
The loss has put the Dodgers' lead in the National League West at risk. After Saturday's defeat, they now lead by only one win. As the regular season approaches its closing stretch, the team will need to regroup and find their winning form to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Despite the setback, the Dodgers can take solace in Yamamoto's impressive performance. The young pitcher, who has been playing for the Dodgers since 2024, showed great promise and will undoubtedly be a key player in the team's future.
The Dodgers will look to bounce back in their next game. With a strong roster and a determined spirit, they will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the coming weeks.
