Kyle Tucker knocked in a run late to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 2-1 win over the New York Mets. The game was largely a pitching duel dominated by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Nolan McClean.

How Did Yoshinobu Yamamoto Pitch Against the Mets?

Yamamoto threw 7.2 innings and allowed only four hits, one walk and one run against seven strikeouts.

After a leadoff home run given up to Francisco Lindor, he retired 20 straight Mets.

He left runners on the corners with two outs in the eighth inning, but Blake Treinen struck out Luis Robert Jr. to end the inning.

How Did Nolan McClean Do?

He was similarly dominant, striking out eight batters in seven innings of work.

He allowed two hits, two walks and one run.

Tucker then knocked in Miguel Rojas on a single to left field, a hit that’s likely to assuage some of the concern that he had been underperforming his $240 million contract, the highest in the league by annual value.

Alex Vesia then came in for the save, meaning Edwin Diaz has only Wednesday’s game left if he is to play against his former team this series.
