Yamamoto Shines Again as Dodgers Blank Diamondbacks

Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw six scoreless innings, rookie Andy Pages hit a two-run homer as part of a five-run second inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 on Wednesday night. The righty gave up five hits and two walks, striking out five. “I think I'm able to keep myself very calm and that's one of the biggest reason I'm able to execute my pitches,” Yamamoto said through a translator. Pages worked a full count against Arizona's Jordan Montgomery before hammering his 429-foot homer to deep left-center for a 2-0 lead in the second.
