Manager Dave Roberts approached the mound after Holliday’s solo homer, which would officially end Yamamoto’s electric night. The Dodgers skipper revealed what he said to the right-hander after he lost the no-hitter.
“I just told him he did a fantastic job and to tip his cap to the fans, because they were cheering for him in that ninth inning,” Roberts said to Yamamoto.
