The Los Angeles Dodgers put up an incredible 11 runs and still lost to the San Diego Padres in the second game of the Seoul Series on Thursday.
Led by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the entire pitching staff fell apart to give up an astonishing 15 runs to an offense many did not consider capable of scoring so freely.
Pretty much every pitcher who came into the game struggled. Yamamoto lasted just one inning and gave up five runs. Every pitcher except Ryan Yarborough and Gus Varland (who recorded one out) gave up at least one run.
The result had Dodgers fans very upset.
It's very early, and Yamamoto will hope to rebound. If nothing else, the Dodgers do still have a solid rotation of Tyler Glasnow, Bobby Miller, and eventually Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw.
Dodgers get blasted in Game 2 of Seoul Series
Following a bit of a pitcher's duel in Game 1, both offenses got red hot and scored a combined 26 runs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto got jumped in the first, surrendering five runs and leaving the contest. Things got worse from there.
The Dodgers gave up 15 runs, including three in the ninth inning to seal the deal. The Dodgers offense, led largely by Mookie Betts, charged back and made it 12-11 heading into the ninth, but the ugly pitching showed up again to allow San Diego to close it out with ease.
The Dodgers will return home and keep working until Opening Day for the rest of the league comes around in about a week.
