Yamamoto gave up a grand slam to Gabriel Moreno and a solo home run to Ketel Marte in five innings in a 5-3 loss on a night when the Dodgers don’t get enough out of their hard contact.

Before Yamamoto signed with the Dodgers, 'he was showing me the javelins. We were tossing those on the field. It was fun to watch his whole routine," the Twins pitcher said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a loss as division play began on Thursday night. Facing off against the National League West rival Arizona Diamondbacks, the Dodgers fell 5-3 even though they had their best pitcher on the mound.
