Episode Details

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was inches away from baseball immortality, throwing a perfect game against the Pirates before Mookie Betts’ shocking error in the eighth shattered the dream. Already on fire with 46 consecutive batters retired — a new MLB record — Yamamoto’s dominance was undeniable. But Betts, known for his elite defense, mishandled a ground ball, ending the perfect game bid. Yamamoto later also lost his no-hitter with a ninth-inning home run, though he still earned the win as the Dodgers cruised to a 7-1 victory. Despite the heartbreak, Yamamoto praised his team’s defense and vowed to keep pushing forward, determined to make history again next time.
