Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s bounce-back start spoiled as Cardinals expose Dodgers bullpen

LA Times  

Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivers during the fourth inning of a 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. “A guy like Joe Kelly,” Roberts said, “it really shouldn’t, doesn’t matter when he pitches.” Only this time, it did, with Kelly’s sloppy seventh looming as the biggest factor in a preventable defeat. “He’s a neutral guy, he’s a high-leverage guy for us,” Roberts said of Kelly, echoing explanations he gave this spring about the Dodgers possessing enough “neutral” right-handed pitchers to compensate for their lack of left-handed depth. In the ninth, Betts whacked his fourth home run of the season to trim the Cardinals’ lead to one, before Freddie Freeman, Smith and Max Muncy tied the score with three straight singles.
