Yamamoto didn't factor into the decision Monday in Milwaukee after giving up three runs on four hits with one strikeout and two walks across 2.2 innings during Game 2 of the NLCS.
The Japanese right-hander entered the contest with a 1.50 ERA and 0.75 WHIP in his past 10 postseason starts -- including a complete game with one run allowed in Game 2 of the NLCS in Milwaukee last year -- but the Brewers made things difficult Monday, fouling off 19 balls as he needed 75 pitches (46 strikes) to record just 11 outs. It's the shortest playoff outing of Yamamoto's career and came on the heels of a dominant performance in the NLDS, when he struck out 10 and allowed just one run over seven innings in Atlanta. The Dodgers will need to win at least two of the next three games in Los Angeles for him to get another start.

Yamamoto earned the win in Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Tuesday, striking out 10 and giving up one run on four hits and one walk over seven innings.
The Japanese right-hander surrendered a run on two hits and a walk during the fifth inning, but he otherwise limited Atlanta to a pair of singles. It was Yamamoto's first appearance since his final start of the regular season Sept. 23 versus San Diego, but he showed no signs of rust while helping Los Angeles claim a 2-1 series lead. The 28-year-old could be available Friday if Atlanta is able to force a decisive Game 5, but it's more likely that he doesn't see the mound again until the NLCS, should the Dodgers advance.

Yamamoto (14-9) allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Wednesday.
Yamamoto notched a third straight quality start thanks to some unearned runs, though those fifth-inning runs were a product of his own throwing error. The right-hander has had few stumbles this season, pitching to a 2.53 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 182:42 K:BB over 185 innings through 28 starts. His regular season is done, so expect Yamamoto's next appearance to come in the NLDS.

Yamamoto (14-8) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Reds, allowing one hit and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander uncharacteristically walked the first two batters he faced, but Yamamoto would only let one other batter reach base before exiting after 91 pitches (55 strikes). The quality start was his 21st of the season, tied for the major-league lead with the Marlins' Sandy Alcantara, and over 10 starts since the All-Star break, Yamamoto has reeled off a 1.98 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 72:16 K:BB in 68.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in what will likely be his final outing of the regular season, at home early next week against the Padres.

Yamamoto (13-8) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out 10 over seven innings to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.
Yamamoto limited the damage to an Elly De La Cruz solo home run in the fourth inning. This victory snapped a three-start winless stretch for Yamamoto, who continues to be among the most reliable starters in baseball. This was his third double-digit strikeout performance of the year. He has pitched to a 2.62 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 171:39 K:BB through 172 innings over 26 starts. Yamamoto is lined up to make his next start in a rematch at Cincinnati next week.

Yamamoto allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Yamamoto cruised through five innings, but he gave up a pair of two-run homers over the last two frames of his start. That cost him a quality start, and the Dodgers' bullpen would ultimately falter when Tanner Scott failed to protect a lead in the eighth inning. Yamamoto had allowed just four runs over his previous four starts combined (24.1 innings), giving up only one homer in that span, though he was limited to a 1-1 record during that stretch. He's now at a 2.67 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 161:38 K:BB through 165 innings across 25 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Reds.
