On the mound today to kick off this series is a potential pitching dual. Los Angeles sends out right-handed rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-1, 2.79 ERA) to take on San Francisco’s right-handed veteran Jordan Hicks (3-1, 2.30 ERA) in his ninth start of the season.
This season got off to a slow start for Yamamoto who started his MLB career with a rough loss and then his second game without a decision. In those two games, Yamamoto pitched 6.0 innings giving up five earned runs and seven strikeouts. Since then he has gone 4-0 in six games allowing just eight runs with 40 strikeouts in 36.0 innings pitched.
On the other side for Hicks, he is off to the best start of his career matching a career-high in wins already through eight starts. Through 43.0 innings pitched Hicks has 35 strikeouts and has allowed just 11 total earned runs setting the stage for an elite pitching dual today.
