"Yamamoto pitched 2⅔ scoreless innings in the clincher a day after throwing 96 pitches in a Game 6 win. He also threw a four-hitter in Game 2 that was the first complete game in the World Series since 2015. "Yamamoto is the GOAT!" manager Dave Roberts shouted moments before the Dodgers hoisted the World Series trophy. Yamamoto, 27, pitched out of a jam in the ninth inning, leaving the bases loaded and the score tied at 4."

He struck out 15 and walked two over 17⅔ innings, allowing two runs and 10 hits. The right-hander's Game 2 gem was his second consecutive complete game of the postseason. He retired the final 20 batters in a 5-1 Dodgers victory."
