[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Dodger Japanese strong pitcher Yunobu Yamamoto surrendered a high-quality pitch that allowed 1 run in 7 innings today, helping the Dodgers easily defeat the Reds 14-1. Yamamoto Yunobu's 13th victory set a single-season high in the United States. Dodger head coach Dave Roberts expressed his praise and was very happy to see the team's offensive line explode. Yamamoto's performance was also very good. He pitched very efficiently and pitched 7 innings.

Yamamoto Yunobu pitched 90 pitches in 7 innings at home and allowed 3 hits, including a hit on Reds star Elly De La Cruz. He struck out 10 times and gave up 1 walk. He won his 13th win of the season and had an ERA of 2.62 after the game. Yamamoto has failed to win the game in the past three starts. This is the second time he has won the game since August 14th, US time.

Yamamoto Yushin said in an interview, "I didn't do anything special. I just concentrated on pitching one inning as usual. Even if the team scored a lot of points, I didn't pay too much attention. I still focused on my pitching."

Regarding being hit out of the ball, Yamamoto Yushin said frankly, "I wanted to throw a high-angle fastball, but the ball ran a little to the middle of the inside corner and was caught and hit by him. I really regret it. Because the position of the ball was different from where I originally aimed. I originally wanted to throw a high-angle ball that would go up, but in the end the ball was slightly lower."

Yamamoto Yunobu pointed out, "I believe that in October, there will be more intense and fierce games. I hope to use the remaining time of the regular season to maintain my physical condition. As for the remaining starts, I want to face them one by one to prepare myself for the October game."
