Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes MLB history with back-to-back postseason complete games

Los Angeles Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto reflected on his historic second-straight complete game and the pressure of playing the World Series.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto watched a popout to third baseman Max Muncy end yet another incredible pitching performance, this time to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the World Series. 

Yamamoto completed his second straight postseason complete game, and he joined some rare MLB company in doing so. 

Yamamoto, who led the way for Los Angeles in the 5-1 victory to even the "Fall Classic" at one game apiece, gave up just four hits and one earned run while striking out eight Blue Jays hitters.

"Outstanding, uber competitive, special," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of his star pitcher. "Yeah, he was just locked in tonight."

The much-needed pitching performance for the Dodgers led Yamamoto to become the first pitcher since Curt Schilling to pitch consecutive complete games in the postseason.

Schilling, who pitched for the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks, did it three straight times as he was money in Games 1 and 5 of the NLDS as well as Game 3 of the NLCS. 

The last postseason complete game before Yamamoto’s on Sunday was Justin Verlander, who did so with the Houston Astros during their controversial World Series-winning 2017 season.
