Yamamoto Dominates Mets, Retires 20 Straight After Leadoff Homer

Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up a leadoff home run to the Mets and then just decided to become unhittable, retiring 20 consecutive batters. That’s the kind of elite composure we paid for. You don’t shake off a leadoff bomb and then mow down 20 in a row unless you’re built different. Kyle Tucker came through with a clutch bloop single to help put the game away. Great team win against New York. Our guy Yamamoto is looking like everything we hoped he’d be this season, as reported by MLB.com staff.
