Yoshinobu Yamamoto a été l'homme fort de la victoire des Dodgers sur le terrain des Blue Jays samedi soir, lors du deuxième match des World Series (1-1 dans la série). Comme dans le match 2 contre les Brewers de Milwaukee lors de la série précédente, le lanceur japonais a disputé l’intégralité des neuf manches et a limité l’attaque torontoise. Son entraîneur, Dave Roberts, n’a pas tari d’éloges envers son joueur après la rencontre.
00:00Outstanding, uber-competitive, special, yeah, he was just locked in tonight, you know, it was one of those things he said before the series, losing is not an option, and he had that look tonight.
00:16I love feeling that the starter is the best option to go six, seven, eight, and what Yamamoto's doing, nine innings, and you've got to be efficient, you've got to have the weapons to be able to take down the line-up three times, four times, whatever it is, and you've got to want to do it.
00:34And so he is a throwback player, he works really hard in his prep, and his delivery, and the mindset, so for me, it's a lot of fun to root for a guy, and you feel good about leaving a guy like that in.
