Yoshinobu Yamamoto sharp after rocky debut, but Dodgers lose - ESPN
LOS ANGELES — Yoshinobu Yamamoto's debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers, on the heels of attaining the largest contract ever for a starting pitcher, lasted only one inning and saw him get charged with five earned runs, nearly a quarter of his total through an entire prior season in Japan. It followed two rough outings in spring training, casting early doubt on Yamamoto's ability to transition to the world's most advanced baseball league in the United States.
