PHOENIX—Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw six scoreless innings, rookie Andy Pages hit a two-run home run as part of a five-run second inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8–0 on Wednesday night, May 1.
Yamamoto (3–1) continues to pitch well in his first big-league season after signing a 12-year, $325 million deal during the offseason. The Japanese star was roughed up by the San Diego Padres in his first outing on March 21 in South Korea but has been much better over his past six starts and now has a 2.91 earned-run average.
