Dodgers Blue Jays Game 2 preview
Yoshinobu Yamamoto returns to Toronto for the first time since he closed out Game 7 for the Championship
Man, if the Dodgers offense had been this hot the last time they were in Toronto, the series would not have gone seven games. But then I suppose we would’ve been robbed of all that amazing drama. Coming into the middle game of the Blue Jays series, the Dodgers have scored eight or more runs in every game of this first road trip of the season.
On Tuesday, Yoshinobu Yamamoto returns to the mound where he last stood as a World Series champion. Dodger fans remember his heroics, going six innings in Game 6 and then pitching the Dodgers to the championship by handling extra innings duties just a day later. Overall, Yamamoto had an incredible 1.
02 ERA against the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. The team is looking for both Yamamoto and the offense to continue their dominance. Will Smith returns to the lineup after having two days in a row off to rest his legs.
Dalton Rushing has filled in splendidly, going 5-for-7 with including three home runs. That hot offense will face Kevin Gausman, who so far this season has a miniscule 0. 75 ERA with 21 strikeouts over just 12 innings.
