CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning, sending the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Yamamoto retired his first 23 batters before Chase Meidroth reached on a two-out error on shortstop Mookie Betts in the eighth. Jacob Gonzalez then bounced to second, ending the inning.<\/p>\n
But Tristan Peters hit a leadoff drive for the White Sox in the ninth. Peters drove a 96.6 mph fastball deep to right for his third homer.<\/p>\n
After Edgar Quero flied out to center, Yamamoto (7-4) was replaced by Alex Vesia. The Japanese right-hander received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 37,832 as he departed the mound.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old Yamamoto struck out seven in his fourth consecutive victory. He threw 109 pitches, 74 for strikes.<\/p>\n
Max Muncy homered twice and drove in four runs for the Dodgers, who bounced back nicely after losing 8-2 in the series opener Friday night. Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff homer in his return to the lineup after missing a game because of inflammation in his left knee.<\/p>\n
Chicago had won eight consecutive home games for the first time since August 2020. Sean Burke (3-4) was charged with four runs and six hits in four innings.<\/p>\n
Ohtani connected on a 1-0 fastball from Burke in the first. The 409-foot drive to right had an exit velocity of 109.6 mph.<\/p>\n
It was Ohtani\u2019s fifth leadoff homer of the season and No. 29 for his career.<\/p>\n
Betts singled with one out in the first, and Muncy hit a two-run shot to right-center for his 15th homer. Muncy tacked on another two-run shot in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Emmet Sheehan (3-3, 4.70 ERA) starts for the Dodgers on Sunday in the series finale. Erick Fedde (1-5, 4.69 ERA) pitches for the White Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning, sending the Los Angeles Dodgers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2406],"tags":[7526,5,39,90558,458,7907,133,17369,1165,4332,4333,774,57,3224,4331,1532,4,1526,9500,9501,9496,9497,39138,15187,2003,468,30019,313],"class_list":["post-725255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-alex-vesia","tag-baseball","tag-dodgers","tag-dodgers-white-sox-score-yamamoto-ohtani","tag-edgar-quero","tag-emmet-sheehan","tag-erick-fedde","tag-jacob-gonzalez","tag-la","tag-la-dodgers","tag-ladodgers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesdodgers","tag-max-muncy","tag-mlb","tag-mookie-betts","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40776-ap-california-sports-only","tag-product-40784-ap-illinois-sports-only","tag-sean-burke","tag-shohei-ohtani","tag-tristan-peters","tag-yoshinobu-yamamoto"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
