Last Saturday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-fans-erupt-waste-yoshinobu-yamamoto-near-no-hitter">Yamamoto was denied a no-hitter</a> with one out against the Baltimore Orioles.</p><p>In the process, he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-yoshinobu-yamamoto-suffers-shocking-twist-last-seen-1923">etched his name into the history books</a>. Yamamoto became the first Dodgers pitcher to fall short of a no-hitter with one out since 1923, with Dazzy Vance of the Brooklyn Robins.</p><p>On Friday, history seemed to repeat itself, but by other means. According to OptaStats, Yamamoto <a href="https://x.com/OptaSTATS/status/1966883472284266721" rel="noopener">became the first pitcher</a> in MLB history to be winless over three starts, despite having 30+ wins and allowing less than 10 runs.</p><p>On Friday the Dodgers lost to the San Francisco Giants 5-1. Altogether, Yamamoto pitched seven innings and had 10 strikeouts, allowing one earned run, one hit, and one walk.</p><p>Afterward, reliever Tanner Scott gave up three runs in the bottom of the 10th inning. In addition to the no-hitter, he had 10 strikeouts and gave up one hit on Aug. 31 against the Tampa Bay Rays.</p><p>Additionally, Yamamoto became the first Dodgers pitcher since Clayton Kershaw in 2017 to have three consecutive starts with 10 strikeouts in seven innings pitched.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Dodgers are 82-65 and are 2.5 games ahead of the San Diego Padres in the NL West. The Dodgers are looking to repeat as World Series champions.</p><p>Currently, Yamamoto has a record of 11-8 with a 2.66 ERA and 187 strikeouts.</p><h2><b>Yoshinobou Yamamoto has had a solid 2025 campaign.</b></h2><p>This year has seen the best out of Yamamoto. Even while the Dodgers pitching staff has had to deal with a rash of injuries, Yamamoto has maintained a consistent presence.</p><p>In May, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-explains-yoshinobu-yamamoto-decision-vs-guardians">Yamamoto experienced a hip issue</a> that he recovered from relatively quickly.</p><p>His high strikeout total and high performance has made him reliable. At one point, Yamamoto was <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/tarik-skubal-yoshinobu-yamamoto-lead-first-2025-cy-young-poll" rel="noopener">seriously considered</a> a Cy Young Award contender.</p><p>Also, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/3-los-angeles-dodgers-who-must-make-all-star-team">Yamamoto was selected to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, facing the Giants, he didn’t record an out and gave up a hit, two walks, and three earned runs. As a result, his outing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-mookie-betts-matches-matt-kemp-mark-grand-slam-rockies">snapped the Dodgers’ four-game winning streak</a>. The series opener in San Francisco ended in a 5-1 defeat, and the Giants seized early control of the three-game series.</p><p>Moreover, the frustration deepened because the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-fans-erupt-waste-yoshinobu-yamamoto-near-no-hitter">Dodgers wasted another strong outing from Yoshinobu Yamamoto</a>. The right-hander threw seven innings, allowing just one run on one hit while striking out 10. After allowing a first-inning run, he kept the Giants’ bats quiet, showing poise and command.</p><p>However, the Dodgers could only score one run to tie the game in the seventh, and the game slipped away in the 10th inning. It was another reminder that even elite starting efforts mean little without reliable late-inning support and/or offensive support.</p><p>Consequently, pressure mounted as Scott confessed that opponents seemed dialed in on every pitch. He questioned whether he was tipping his pitches.</p><p>“They’re on everything,” he said, raising troubling doubts about mechanics or approach. His confidence appeared shaky.</p><p>Soon after, the Giants pounced, exploiting mistakes. A fastball left up in the zone got hammered. Scott’s failure to record an out stung as the Dodgers struggled to hold their edge late. In the aftermath, Scott’s transparent self-criticism echoed around the clubhouse.</p><p>Overall, this season has been unkind for the defending World Series champions. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-tanner-scott-blows-another-save-walk-off-home-run">Dodgers were hoping Tanner Scott would stabilize the late innings</a>. Instead, he’s stumbled under mounting expectations. Fans and teammates alike expected more from him, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-beat-cubs-blue-jays-72-million-tanner-scott-contract">hoping his year would reflect his lofty contract</a> and previous success. Yet, his own words painted a bleak picture: a player in crisis, desperate to right the ship against the Giants and beyond.</p><p>Even so, despite the loss, Scott insisted he would work to regain control and performance. For now, the Dodgers must endure the consequences of another shaky outing as they aim to bounce back in the Giants series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Moreover, his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-patrick-bailey-walks-off-dodgers-extra-innings-grand-slam">glovework against the Giants continues to turn heads</a>, even in defeat for the Dodgers.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Air Betts. <a href="https://t.co/K77EMcrdCh">pic.twitter.com/K77EMcrdCh</a></p><p>— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1966715320565198983?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In particular, Betts’s soft hands at shortstop are a <a href="https://x.com/ChadMoriyama/status/1966695801851174980" rel="noopener">sight to behold</a>. Each snap and pop feels almost effortless. Furthermore, he moves laterally with calm precision. Batted balls once destined for hits now vanish in his glove. He stops hard smashers in their tracks. Consequently, his shortstop brilliance continues to stand out.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mookie, right field, etc. <a href="https://t.co/lOkFdNtxJH">pic.twitter.com/lOkFdNtxJH</a></p><p>— Chad Moriyama (@ChadMoriyama) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadMoriyama/status/1966695801851174980?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>As a result, the Giants are learning that testing the Dodgers star comes with risk. Hitters may think they’ve found a gap, only to see him cut it off in a blur. The Dodgers have long trusted his defense, yet this stretch at shortstop proves he can be far more than a temporary solution. In fact, he’s making one of the game’s most demanding positions look natural. That reliability, in turn, gives pitchers added confidence to attack the zone.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-silences-noise-around-mookie-betts-leaving-shortstop">Manager Dave Roberts has noticed the impact</a>. As he explained, “When you’re talking about shortstop play, you’re looking for consistency, and I’ve just loved the consistency. He’s made every play he’s supposed to make, and then the last couple of weeks, he’s made spectacular plays. He’s been a big part of preventing runs.” With Betts anchoring shortstop, the Dodgers look stronger. He’s not just a sprinter or a slider. Instead, his instincts and timing matter just as much.</p><p>Nevertheless, defense alone was not enough on this night. The Giants struck late and won 5-1, capped by Patrick Bailey’s extra-innings grand slam. It was a bitter ending for the Dodgers, who squandered Betts’s highlight plays in the field.</p><p>Looking ahead, as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-announcer-reveals-why-tight-nl-west-race-healthy-la">Dodgers race toward the postseason</a>, every play against the Giants and beyond carries weight. Moreover, Mookie Betts keeps delivering. His shortstop work continues to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-mookie-betts-matches-matt-kemp-mark-grand-slam-rockies">elevate him from star bat to defensive superstar</a>. Ultimately, he just keeps making the spectacular look routine.</p><p>The only question is, can Mookie Betts’s brilliance at shortstop help carry the Dodgers all the way in October?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ohtani became the first Dodger in 25 years to reach 100 walks in a single season after being issued a free pass by Giants right-hander Justin Verlander in the third inning.</p><p>By drawing three walks in the game, including two intentional, Ohtani raised his season total to 102, <a href="https://x.com/billplunkettocr/status/1966698280156315860" rel="noopener">joining four other MLB players</a>, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Rafael Devers, and himself, who have reached 100 walks this season, according to the Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.</p><p>Ohtani is only the fifth Dodgers player to reach triple digits in walks, joining Jim Wynn (110 in 1975), Brett Butler (108 in 1991), Reggie Smith (104 in 1977), and Gary Sheffield (101 in 1999, 100 in 2000). His 15.43% walk rate this season ranks among his career highs, comparable to 15.19% in 2023 and 15.02% in 2021, though his raw totals are higher thanks to more games played and his full-time designated-hitter role. In his last 30 games, Ohtani has drawn 27 walks and extended his on-base streak to 17 games.</p><p>Ohtani’s achievement stood tall, even if the game didn’t. The Dodgers (82-65) fell to the Giants (75-72) in 10 innings. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered another dominant outing, striking out 10 over seven innings while allowing just one hit. He retired the final 20 batters he faced, marking the second consecutive start with one hit over at least seven innings, a feat not matched by a Dodger since Dazzy Vance in 1925. In his last three starts, Yamamoto has posted a 1.22 ERA with 30 strikeouts and three walks.</p><p>Offensively, the Dodgers struggled, going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and leaving nine men on base. Michael Conforto, facing his former team, tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh, his 11th of the season and eighth on the road. Center fielder Andy Pages threw a 92.9 mph relay to nail pinch-runner Grant McCray at home, ending another Dodgers scoring opportunity in the ninth.</p><p>The game ended in the 10th when Giants catcher Patrick Bailey hit a walk-off grand slam off Tanner Scott, giving San Francisco a 5-1 victory and pulling them within half a game of the New York Mets for the third National League Wild Card spot. Bailey’s homer was his second walk-off of the season and fourth in his career, making him the first MLB player to hit both a walk-off inside-the-park home run and a walk-off grand slam in the same season.</p><p>Heading into the final 15 games of the season, Ohtani is on pace to surpass Wynn’s Los Angeles single-season record of 110 walks. Meanwhile, the Dodgers will look to rebound in Saturday’s matchup, with Max Muncy likely to return after exiting Friday’s game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-max-muncy-exits-giants-game-wrist-injury">due to a hit-by-pitch injury</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-los-angeles-pitching-exemplified-new-mlb-record">Dodgers’ rotation dominated</a> over the last week as the team makes a final push for the division crown.</p><p>Unfortunately, not everything went to plan on Friday. Max Muncy was hit by a pitch on the right wrist. The Dodgers third baseman initially stayed in to run the bases. However, <a href="https://x.com/DodgerBlue1958/status/1966718044740223305" rel="noopener">he was removed</a> from the game when Los Angeles came out on defense in the bottom of the eighth inning, per Dodger Blue.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Max Muncy is hit in the wrist by Lucchesi and appears to be in obvious pain<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/sfgiants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#sfgiants</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/letsgododgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#letsgododgers</a> <a href="https://t.co/krMSfGBMeW">pic.twitter.com/krMSfGBMeW</a></p><p>— Dew🦭 (@Dewgorithm) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dewgorithm/status/1966716419984203959?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Dodgers hope Max Muncy avoids third trip to IL</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Max-Muncy2.jpg"><figcaption>Jerome Miron-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Muncy had just returned to the lineup after a lengthy <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-max-muncy-talks-journey-back-il-oblique-injury">IL stint for an oblique strain</a>. The two-time All-Star was sidelined for 24 games by the injury before being activated on September 8. Now, just three games later, Muncy is dealing with another ailment.</p><p>Prior to the oblique strain, the 10th-year veteran landed on the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dave-roberts-reveals-dodgers-initial-plan-to-replace-max-muncy">IL with a bone bruise</a> in early July. He missed 26 games before rejoining the Dodgers on August 4. However, his return was brief as eight games later he would suffer the oblique injury.</p><p>Muncy has appeared in 92 games for the Dodgers this season. He’s been productive when healthy, hitting .252 with an .862 OPS, 17 home runs, 64 RBI, a 141 OPS+ and 3.3 bWAR. Muncy even reached <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-max-muncy-leapfrogs-matt-kemp-all-time-la-home-run-list">No. 7 on the Dodgers’ all-time home run list</a> in August. But he’s been sidelined for a big chunk of the season, missing 55 games.</p><p>Injuries have been the story of the 2025 Dodgers. While the team has been returning to health, LA is far from full strength. Will Smith remained out of the lineup in the series opener against the Giants. And manager Dave Roberts had an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-announces-roki-sasaki-update-calf-situation-okc">unfortunate update on Roki Sasaki</a>.</p><p>While the injuries are concerning, the Dodgers’ bullpen is also cause for alarm. LA’s relievers collapsed again in Friday’s 5-1 defeat. Blake Treinen earned the loss but Tanner Scott was the culprit. The veteran closer gave up a walk-off grand slam in extra innings to Giants catcher Patrick Bailey.</p><p>Fortunately for Los Angeles, the San Diego Padres also lost on Friday. For now, the Dodgers maintain a 2.5-game lead in a tight NL West race.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And then certainly this year, as they’re on track to, you know, barely scratch 90 wins. Now it’s like, well, wait, wait, wait, wait,” Nelson explained.</p><p>“Now they’re longing for those days where they’re winning the division by 15, 20 games and coasting into the postseason. But I think that ultimately this will be a healthy thing for them, Kratzy. I think to kind of be humbled, not that the guys in the clubhouse were braggadocious, I’m just saying generally, where it’s like, okay, this isn’t just going to be a cakewalk. Not that, again, not that any of them thought baseball of all sports is going to be a cakewalk, but for them to be like, wow, this is, we’re really having to fight and scratch and claw for every single win, no matter the record of the opponent across the field. I feel that that is a big thing, not just for the Dodgers, really any team that’s playing for postseason ball.”</p><p>Did the Dodgers enter the 2025 MLB season a bit too big for their britches? Maybe, maybe not, but after starting off the year with an impressive win streak, the Dodgers have been handed more than their fair share of lumps in the pursuit of a World Series return. Fortunately, as Nelson noted, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If the Dodgers enter the 2025 postseason as a team that knows what it takes to win and how easy it is for things to fall apart, maybe they won’t take the moment for granted.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Dodgers inability to easily win the NL West might actually be a healthy thing for them, says <a href="https://twitter.com/StephenNelson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@StephenNelson</a>. <a href="https://t.co/8t84MTlC3x">pic.twitter.com/8t84MTlC3x</a></p><p>— Foul Territory (@FoulTerritoryTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/FoulTerritoryTV/status/1966559936554693117?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Dave Roberts leads his team on the road for a three-game set against National League West rival San Francisco Giants. The result could go a long way in determining the standings. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-dave-roberts-reveals-when-shohei-ohtani-will-pitch-vs-phillies">Shohei Ohtani eyeing a return to the pitching mound</a>, Roberts gave an update on Will Smith.</p><p>Los Angeles has been led by its stars throughout the 2025 season. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/1-will-smith-stat-proves-dodgers-catcher-is-underrated">Smith has emerged as the team’s unsung hero</a> with an excellent year at the plate. He has grown from a supporting piece to an All-Star level talent crucial to the team’s success. Ben Rortvedt has been serviceable for the Dodgers in his absence, but he cannot completely fill the gap left by Smith’s injury.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-shohei-ohtani-outpaces-ken-griffey-jr-historic-run">Ohtani’s dominant season has him on pace to smash records</a>. However, there is a good argument that Smith has been the next best offensive producer for Roberts this season. Getting him back on the field and in rhythm before the playoffs could play a role in determining just how far the team can go this season.</p><p>According to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya, Smith <a href="https://x.com/FabianArdaya/status/1966659456697016735" rel="noopener">could return to the field</a> as early as Friday night.</p><p>“Will Smith is not in the lineup, but is available off the bench tonight, Dave Roberts said. MRI came back clean and swelling is down, but they want to be mindful to avoid a situation where he was scratched like Wednesday night,” Ardaya said.</p><p>Roberts and the Dodgers have been cautious with injuries throughout the season. However, the team is running out of time to keep Smith out of the batting order. Los Angeles’ playoff fate is up in the air over the next two weeks with multiple important series. Getting Smith back at full health could be the boost the team needs to make a run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

San Francisco is competing for a postseason berth, giving the matchup against its division rival added significance. The team anticipated being shorthanded for the series opener after Matt Chapman was given a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-matt-chapman-suspension-rockies">one-game suspension</a>. But the Giants received a <a href="https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/matt-chapman-suspenion-appeal-ruling/1873944/" rel="noopener">positive update</a> prior to the matchup.</p><p>Chapman was successful in his appeal of the suspension, per NBC Sports Bay Area. The Commissioner’s Office agreed to drop the suspension and issue a fine instead.

He grew up in a New York sports-heavy region in Connecticut and earned his journalism degree at the University of Rhode Island. His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Los Angeles Dodgers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The San Francisco Giants (74-72) are gearing up for a huge series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (82-64) this weekend, as they try to separate themselves from the Cincinnati Reds and cut into the one-and-a-half-game advantage the New York Mets currently hold for the third and final National League Wild Card slot. Bob Melvin and his ballclub are not the only ones who are bringing lofty ambitions with them to Oracle Park. Joey Chestnut is returning to the Bay Area with a big appetite and empty stomach.</p><p>The number one competitive eater in the world grew up in Vallejo, California and is excited to be back in a familiar place. He is not in attendance as strictly a fan, however. Chestnut is coming to the ballpark <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46227776/joey-chestnut-99-impossible-chicken-nuggets-nine-innings-giants-dodgers" rel="noopener">to complete the 99/9 challenge</a>, via ESPN’s Anthony Gharib. He will attempt to eat 99 Impossible Foods-brand nuggets across nine innings during Friday night’s NL West clash. One fan will qualify for the opportunity to battle this modern-day Goliath.</p><p>The 17-time Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest champion has broken many records and conquered many seemingly improbable feats during his legendary run. He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/joey-chestnut-demolishes-three-fans-pierogi-eating-competition-cavs-game">dominated three fans in a pierogi competition</a> at a Cleveland Cavaliers game in March of 2024 and will look to reign supreme at a sporting event once again.</p><p>“I’ve done a lot of wild challenges over the years, but 99 nuggets in nine innings is a new one for me, and I’m fired up,” Chestnut said, per Gharib. Doing it back in the Bay where I grew up, at Oracle Park with the Giants, makes it even better,” Chestnut said. “I’m a big fan, and it feels like a home game! … I’ve been training, I’m feeling good, so 99 should go down no problem. Honestly, just talking about it is making me hungry. … I hope they’ve got a few extras ready.”</p><h2><b>Will the all-time great eater bring the Giants some extra luck?</b></h2><p>Joey Jaws’ affiliation with the plant-based Impossible Foods led to his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celebrity/joey-chestnut-working-on-returning-to-competition-after-ban">one-year ban from Nathan’s</a> Fourth of July festivities in 2024, but he has clearly maintained a strong working relationship with the company. The 99/9 challenge is obviously an opportunity to get more exposure on the product.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celebrity/exclusive-joey-chestnut-goes-machine-mode-dominate-eating-competitions">Joey Chestnut is in “machine mode</a>,” the Giants will be focused on ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto and a superb LA lineup. The Japanese right-hander was one out away from tossing a no-hitter against in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-fans-erupt-waste-yoshinobu-yamamoto-near-no-hitter">Dodgers’ brutal loss</a> to the Baltimore Orioles last Saturday, so San Francisco could have a grueling test ahead of itself. The home team will have its own high-profile hurler on the mound, however.</p><p>Future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander has been terrific over his last three starts — two runs allowed and 21 strikeouts in 17 innings pitched — so fans should expect a show. But if the game does take a turn for the worse, Chestnut will do his best to impress the crowd.</p><p>Verlander, Chestnut, Shohei Ohtani and plant-based nuggets all in one place at the same time. Only in America.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
