Yoshinobu Yamamoto narrowly missed his first MLB no-hitter and a perfect game during the Dodgers' matchup against the White Sox on June 13, 2026. The right-hander lost a perfect game in the eighth inning when shortstop Mookie Betts committed an error. Yamamoto's no-hit bid ended shortly after in the ninth when Tristan Peters hit a home run, though he managed to finish the game with a strong overall performance. The Dodgers secured a 7-1 victory in the game, which followed a disappointing 8-2 loss the previous day. The outing reaffirmed Yamamoto’s impressive season and showcased Shohei Ohtani's return from injury with a homer in this game.
