Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Dodgers debut is an epic disaster after $325 million deal


The richest pitching contract in baseball history began in historically disastrous fashion.

$325 million Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed five runs and lasted just one inning against the Padres in a 15-11 loss in his MLB debut Thursday in Seoul, South Korea.

Yamamoto (0-1) yielded four hits and walked one batter, but did tally two strikeouts in a 43-pitch inning. His ERA now stands at 45.00.
