Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed three home runs for the first time in Major League Baseball in a 6-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers have lost four consecutive games, all of them by at least four runs, the latter matching the franchise record, last done in 1936 by Brooklyn . Yamamoto struck out eight and walked none through six innings, to that point allowing only four hits. Three of them were solo home runs, all hit with two outs, including two by Giants catcher Eric Haase.

It’s the first time in 67 MLB appearances, including 66 starts that Yamamoto allowed three home runs. He had only allowed two home runs in a start five times, none this year before Tuesday. San Francisco with those three home runs rank 28th among 30 teams with 30 home runs this season.

But at only 84 pitches through six innings, Yamamoto started the seventh. He was immediately greeted with a double by Heliot Ramos and a single by Willy Adames. One out later, Yamamoto left with those two runners on, in favor of Blake Treinen.
