Part 3/9:
The real showstopper was Yoshino Yamamoto, whose performance was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Throwing a variety of pitches—splitters, yo-yo curves, and fastballs down to 74 mph—Yamamoto was completely in command. He amassed eight strikeouts in a complete game, allowing just one run on four hits. What made his outing legendary was his pitch mix and command, which kept the Blue Jays’ potent batting lineup off-balance throughout.
