[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] In G2 of the National League Championship Series, Dodgers Japanese strong pitcher Yunobu Yamamoto only pitched 2.2 innings and allowed 3 runs before being eliminated early by KO. It was also the shortest start in the playoffs of his career. In the end, the Dodgers lost to the Brewers 4-7, and the Dodgers fell into a 0-2 crisis in the series. Yamamoto Yunobu did not challenge two key balls, and both resulted in the opponent being on base, which made foreign media believe that this cost the Dodgers.

Yamamoto faced Brewers hitter Brice Turang in the first inning. There were two balls on the edge of the strike zone, but neither of them raised an ABS challenge. In the end, Yamamoto was hit with a double. Then Brewers star catcher William Contreras hit a timely hit, and Yamamoto allowed one run in the first inning.

In the third inning, after Yamamoto Yunobu 1 was out, he met Turan again. On the sixth pitch of the duel between the two sides, Yamamoto threw it on the edge of the strike zone. He immediately signaled star catcher Smith (Will Smith) to challenge, but Smith did not challenge. After 2 outs, Yamamoto was beaten by Brewers batter Jake Bauers for 12 pitches and walked. Brewers star Christian Yelich hit a timely hit with 2 RBIs, causing Yamamoto to retire.

"The Athletic" Dodgers team reporter Katie Woo pointed out that this was the second time today that Smith did not challenge a pitch that might have been judged as a third strike.
