Yamamoto throws first World Series complete game since 2015 as Dodgers beat Blue Jays 5-1 in Game 2

TORONTO (AP) — Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a four-hitter for his second consecutive complete game, the first in the World Series since 2015, and the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 to tie their best-of-seven matchup at one game apiece. Coming off a three-hitter against Milwaukee in the National League Championship Series that was the first postseason complete game in eight years, Yamamoto retired his final 20 batters. The previous pitcher to go the distance in the Fall Classic was Kansas City’s Johnny Cueto against the New York Mets in Game 2 a decade ago. Will Smith hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning and had three RBIs for the Dodgers.
