The Dodgers won 8-2 against the Miami Marlins of the 2024 Major League Baseball at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 8th (Korea time) and won six consecutive games.

Miami: Jazz Chizom Jr. (center fielder) - Breitte de la Cruz (designated hitter) - Jake Berger (third baseman) - Josh Bell (first baseman) - Jesus Sanchez (right fielder) - Tim Anderson (striker) - Nick Gordon (left fielder) - Vidal Bruhan (second baseman) - Christian Betancourt (catcher), starting pitcher Edward Cabrera.

Dodgers: Mookie Betts (striker), Shohei Otani (designated hitter), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Will Smith (catcher), Max Muncy (third baseman), Tosca Hernandez (left fielder), Andy Fraz (right fielder), Gavin Lux (second baseman), James Outman (center fielder), starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Yamamoto, who entered the big league with a $325 million contract this winter, gave a shocking result of five runs (five earned) in one inning in his debut game against the San Diego Padres in the Seoul Series on March 21. However, after the Seoul Series schedule ended, Yamamoto turned into a completely different pitcher. He pitched a scoreless pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals, the opener of the U.S. mainland, and lowered his ERA to 2.91 before the game.

The quality start pitching (less than three earned runs in six innings) that started in the showdown with the New York Mets on April 20 continued through the day. From the start of the first inning, Imana was hit by a 95.4 mile fastball that he threw to the leadoff batter, Jazz Chizom Jr., and hit a solo homer over the central fence. However, the pitch was perfect afterward. After tying Brian De La Cruz with a fly ball, Yamamoto struck out Jake Berger and quickly increased the out count. Later, he got a hit by Josh Bell, but caught Jesus Sanchez with a grounder to the second base to end the first inning.

Yamamoto hit the first three outs in the top of the second inning with a 4-1 lead, blocking all three batters with a ground ball, including Tim Anderson-Nick Gordon-Vidal Bruhan. In the process, Yamamoto struck 19 consecutive pitches before the second pitch was a ball against Burhan, which was the first pitcher in history to strike 19 consecutive pitches since the start of the game since the development of the pitch tracking system in 2000. Based on this momentum, Yamamoto continued a scoreless cruise in the third inning, tying up the Miami lineup.

He also overcame his first crisis well. Yamamoto struck out Berger in the fourth inning, grounded out Bell to the second base, and hit a double to left field off Jesus Sanchez. However, he tied the inning by catching Anderson with a fly ball to center, and once again caught Gordon-Bruhan-Christian Betancourt with three outs in the fifth inning, securing his winning requirement. Yamamoto hit a splitter by De La Cruz in the sixth inning and allowed his second homer on the day, but it did not affect his winnings and completed a quality start. And Yamamoto, who had enough pitching, took the mound in the seventh inning as well.

After striking out the leadoff hitter Sanchez, Yamamoto recorded his first seven innings of pitching since his Major League debut, cooking Anderson to third base and Gordon to left field fly. And Yamamoto, who also appeared in the eighth inning, was hit by Betancourt, but he completed his mission by quelling the Miami lineup without any significant crisis. He could have caught enough time to hit a complete pitch, but he had to be satisfied with his eight-inning pitch due to an increase in the number of pitches in defense in the eighth inning, but he completed his best pitch with five hits (2 home runs) and five strikeouts and two runs (2 earned) with no outs.

Ohtani, who not only hit three consecutive home runs against Miami the previous day (July 7), but also garnered hits in six consecutive games, had no hits, two walks, and one run from two times at bat on the day. This put the brakes on his streak of consecutive hits, but he managed to continue his on-base streak for seven consecutive games based on two walks. On the day, Ohtani started the game by getting a walk in the first at-bat without a runner on the first out. He then homered on Max Muncy's grand slam, which gave the Dodgers its first run.

With the batters exploding, Ohtani once again entered the batter's box with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the second inning, and again, he drew another walk against Miami starter Edward Sanchez to complete the multi-base game. However, as the follow-up hit did not occur this time, the score could not be reached consecutively. Since then, productive results such as a hit or a walk have not been produced. In his third at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning as the leadoff batter, Ohtani targeted Miami's changed pitcher George Soriano's second changeup, but was out after hitting a fly to right field and a fly to left field in the fourth at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Ohtani's presence was not noticeable on the day, but the Dodgers' lineup was impeccably strong. The Dodgers got a grand slam chance in the bottom of the first inning, when Yamamoto allowed Jazz Chizom Jr.'s first home run of the leadoff, with Ohtani's walk, Freddie Freeman's walk, and Will Smith's walk. At this time, Max Muncy shot a come-from-behind grand slam against Miami starter Cabrera, turning the game around 4-1 at once. The Dodgers did not produce a score in their offense in the bottom of the third inning, but they effectively took the lead in the fourth inning.

The Dodgers got another grand slam chance in the bottom of the fourth inning with a hit ball by Will Smith, Muncy's double and Teoscar Hernandez's walk. The Dodgers then ran away with Andy Fraz's sacrifice fly, then added another run with Miami catcher Betancourt's throwing error, and Gavin Lux even hit a two-run home run. In response, Miami pulled the reins with De La Cruz hitting a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning in the attack, but the flow of the game was not affected.

When Yamamoto pitched well and went down the mound, the Dodgers deployed J.P. Firereisen in the ninth inning to end the game without losing a point, and Pajuk won six consecutive games.
