Dodgers Tie World Series Behind Throwback Excellence from Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Yamamoto's second consecutive complete game evened up the Fall Classic in Toronto.
In today's MLB pitching era, bullpens are used more strategically, with managers and front offices reluctant to push their starting pitchers.
- Bullpens are deployed more frequently to bring in fresh arms.
- Starting pitchers are often removed to avoid facing the same hitters multiple times.
As a result, complete games have become rare, with only 29 recorded during the 2025 regular season across all 30 teams.
The last-place Phils counted on "Lefty" for 346.1 innings. Yowza.
This is in stark contrast to Hall of Fame southpaw Steve Carlton's 1972 Cy Young-winning season, where he posted 30 complete games.
