Yoshinobu Yamamoto nearly no-hits White Sox in Dodgers' 7-1 victory

A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The Chicago White Sox narrowly avoided being no-hit by Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who dominated for 8 1/3 innings before allowing a solo home run to Tristan Peters in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' 7-1 victory. The highly anticipated series was originally billed as a showdown between Shohei Ohtani and White Sox slugger Munteka Murakami, but Murakami's hamstring injury and Yamamoto's stellar pitching changed the narrative. Yamamoto lost a perfect game bid on a Mookie Betts error in the eighth inning.
