Yoshinobu Yamamoto's bounce-back start spoiled as Cardinals expose Dodgers bullpen

The Dodgers alleviated one big roster question Saturday night.

But, in a 6-5 extra-innings loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, another personnel concern quickly surfaced in its place.

The good news for the team: Yoshinobu Yamamoto rebounded from his disastrous debut in South Korea, spinning five shutout innings in his first career start at Dodger Stadium.

Mookie Betts also maintained his blistering pace in the early season, helping the Dodgers erase a late three-run deficit with three hits, including a ninth-inning homer, before the team ultimately left the bases loaded in the 10th inning to end the game.
