The Japanese right-hander finished the outing with 10 strikeouts and was lifted after throwing 112 pitches.<\/p>\n<p>After Yamamoto&#8217;s exit, reliever Blake Treinen took the mound. The Orioles rallied in the ninth with a sequence that loaded the bases and produced additional runs; Emmanuel Rivera later delivered a walk-off RBI single to complete the comeback and end the game in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles had built a 3-0 advantage earlier in the game, keyed by a Shohei Ohtani RBI single in the third and a two-RBI night for Mookie Betts (a single and a triple in the fifth and seventh innings). Those runs, however, were not enough to secure the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto&#8217;s night was notable despite the loss: he recorded 10 strikeouts, reached beyond seven innings for the first time in his MLB tenure, and nearly completed what would have been the first no-hitter of the 2025 season. He previously threw back-to-back no-hitters in Nippon Professional Baseball with the Orix Buffaloes.<\/p>\n<h2>Context &amp; Impact<\/h2>\n<p>The result extends a difficult stretch for the Dodgers, who suffered a fifth straight loss and face mounting pressure as the season moves deeper into September. A late-inning collapse shifted the momentum to Baltimore and breathed life into the Orioles&#8217; postseason hopes.<\/p>\n<p>For Yamamoto, the outing reinforced his emergence as a frontline starter in MLB \u2014 even in a loss. The near-miss also prolongs a league-wide pattern in 2025: several pitchers have come close to no-hitters but none have completed one so far.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>June: Jacob deGrom lost a bid in the eighth inning.<\/li>\n<li>June: Nick Martinez had a ninth-inning bid broken.<\/li>\n<li>July: The New York Yankees spoiled Bryan Woo&#8217;s near no-hitter.<\/li>\n<li>August: Juan Soto&#8217;s homer broke Gavin Williams&#8217; tidy outing in the ninth.<\/li>\n<li>Recent weeks: Orioles rookie Brandon Young nearly threw a perfect game before it was spoiled in the eighth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yamamoto was removed after 112 pitches and was met with a standing ovation as he left the mound.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Team reports<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<aside>\n<details>\n<summary>Explainer: No-hitter vs. perfect game<\/summary>\n<p>A no-hitter is a game in which a team allows no hits over the full game; a perfect game requires no baserunners at all. A starting pitcher can lose a no-hitter on a final-inning play, and relievers can be credited in combined no-hitters when multiple pitchers complete the task together.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Unconfirmed<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Whether the Dodgers&#8217; decision to remove Yamamoto after 112 pitches was driven strictly by pitch count, matchup considerations, or other factors \u2014 the club&#8217;s internal decision-making rationale was not publicly detailed.<\/li>\n<li>Exact inning-by-inning defensive or scoring nuances during the ninth-inning rally that preceded the walk-off were not fully itemized in all reports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>Yamamoto delivered an elite performance that fell just short of history when Jackson Holliday&#8217;s ninth-inning home run ignited a Baltimore comeback. The outing highlights Yamamoto&#8217;s rising profile while underscoring how quickly late-inning baseball can turn \u2014 and how the 2025 season continues without its first no-hitter.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yahoo Sports<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MLB.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 7, 2025 \u2014 Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but Jackson Holliday&#8217;s solo home run in the bottom of the ninth broke the no-no and helped ignite a Baltimore rally that ended with an Emmanuel Rivera walk-off RBI single.
