supervisor Dave Roberts stated Yamamoto had “just a little hip concern” after the play at first base. He pulled him after 88 pitches by way of the six innings.
“I don’t know if that type of bought into the mechanics in that fifth and sixth inning. It simply didn’t appear as high-quality,” Roberts stated. “After which for me, I simply felt that we pushed him so much his final outing (110 pitches), so to type of not push him to the fullest tonight made sense as he gears up for (his subsequent begin) Sunday (in opposition to the Yankees).”
