The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, led by a stellar performance from right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto pitched six innings, allowing one earned run on seven hits, striking out seven, and walking one. He effectively used his four-seam fastball and splitter to induce weak contact and command the strike zone. Yamamoto now holds a 3.32 ERA and 2.68 FIP in 65.0 innings pitched this season, improving his record to 6-2. The Dodgers' offense, though managing only 11 hits and four walks, was sufficient to support Yamamoto's effort. Relief pitchers Daniel Hudson, Blake Treinen, and Evan Phillips contributed to the win, with Phillips earning his ninth save of the season. The Dodgers now hold a 37-23 record and sit first in the NL West.
