Dodgers rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto downplays atmosphere in the Bronx after pitching seven shutout innings.
When the Dodgers signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year $325 million contract, they were investing in the present and future. The Dodgers hoped the three-time Sawamura award winner could come over and be an above-average pitcher now. With time, however, they expect him to be an ace.
The 25-year-old rookie twirled a gem pitching seven shutout innings, allowing only two hits, not surrendering a run, and striking out seven Yankee batters. He was every bit of the ace the Dodgers could have hoped for when they signed him."The Yankees are a great team, and I appreciate their interest in me during the negotiation, like with some of the teams I negotiated with and had a meeting with. All the teams were great, and I appreciate them equally.
