Yamamoto tells Blake Snell to hold his Saki

Phil Gurnee ♦ October 15, 2025 ♦ Leave a comment

Just yesterday we talked about the greatest Dodger NLCS pitching performances and Yoshinobu Yamamoto decided he wanted his name on the Dodger NLCS leaderboard. Pitching the first complete game in a Dodger NLCS since Orel Hershiser in game seven of the 1988 NLCS against the Mets, Yamamoto not only stamped his name on the NLCS leaderboard but now has the 3rd highest game score in Dodger NLCS history.

Below is the Dodger NLCS Game Score Leaderboard:
