Tommy Edman led the match with a Home Run and Yoshinobu Yamamoto won a launcher duel with Jacob Degrom while the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Texas Rangers 3-0 Friday in the opening of an interleague series of three games in Arlington, Texas.
Yamamoto and Degrom have delivered brilliant outings of seven innings while the Dodgers won their fourth consecutive match. The Rangers have managed a sequence of global victories of three games and a sequence of home victories of nine games.
Yamamoto (3-1) granted five strokes and without race while withdrawing 10 without emitting a walk.
DEGROM (0-1) only made three strokes and a race. He traveled one, advanced seven and was almost unshakable after making an error in the first playing of the game.
The Dodgers were without MVP reign of the National League Shohei Ohtani, who did not travel to the Metroplex of Dallas-Fort Worth after being placed on the paternity list.
Ohtani’s wife Mamiko Tanaka should give birth to the couple’s first child in the coming days. Ohtani will probably miss the whole series with the Rangers because it can stay on the paternity list for the maximum of three days.
The Dodgers took the lead when Edman settled on the field of the center right on the second launch of the match.
Los Angeles did not get another runner after the first base until Edman opens the ninth round with a single LEVER from Texas Hoby Milner and went to the second row on a launch error of the Corey Seager stop. Edman has moved to third place on a field and scored on a single by Teoscar Hernandez off Shawn Armstrong.
Later in the Channel, the pinch runner Chris Taylor returned home on a sacrificial fly towards the central field of Will Smith.
Kirby Yates, in relief of Yamamoto, stretched two strikers in an eighth perfect round. Tanner Yates launched the ninth, granting two single before making Josh Jung end in a double game game, sealing his seventh stop.
Edman managed three of the five strokes of the Dodgers.
Seager and Dustin Harris each collected two of the seven strokes of the Rangers.
