Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts for Dodgers against Cardinals at Dodger Stadium

Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers at home against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. The Dodgers look to rebound after a recent loss where the team scored eight runs but surrendered a high volume of runs behind starting pitcher Eric Lauer. Yamamoto enters the start following a outing against the Braves where he allowed only a single home run over six and one-third innings. The right-hander has posted a 1.95 ERA throughout August despite a limited 1-2 record. In his previous two career appearances against the St. Louis Cardinals, Yamamoto has not allowed a run across 11 innings of work. The Los Angeles Dodgers continue a series that features a St. Louis Cardinals bullpen with available arms following limited usage in their previous contest.
