Dodgers Tie World Series Behind Throwback Excellence from Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Yamamoto’s second consecutive complete game evened up the Fall Classic in Toronto.
We live in a different era for MLB pitching, where bullpens are used more strategically than ever, with managers and front offices reluctant to push their starting pitchers.
Complete games are essentially an endangered species, even for most pitchers with no-hitters on the line unless their pitch count is in pristine shape and their manager has full trust in them.
During the 2025 regular season, the 30 teams combined for a grand total of 29 complete games — or one less than Hall of Fame southpaw Steve Carlton posted during his Cy Young-winning season for the Phillies in 1972.
The last-place Phils counted on “Lefty” for 346.1 innings. Yowza.
Author's summary: Dodgers tie World Series with Yamamoto's excellence.
