Yoshinobu Yamamoto was one out away from a no-hitter, but Jackson Holliday smashed a home run to put the Orioles on the board. Then, the bullpen had an epic meltdown, as they failed to record an out and allowed the Orioles to walk-off the Dodgers for a second straight night by a 4-3 final score.
The Dodgers entered Saturday having scored just four runs over their past three games as they faced Trevor Rogers, who was named the AL pitcher of the month of August. Rogers made quick work of the Dodgers through his first two innings of work, retiring the first six hitters in order while recording two strikeouts. Yamamoto matched him with two perfect innings of work with a pair of strikeouts.
The Dodgers got their first base runner of the game via a double from Miguel Rojas, and Kiké Hernández
