Just In: Dodgers’ 25 years old player gets hilariously jinxed by MLB Network before first pitch vs Marlins

Yoshinobu Yamamoto stumbled out of the gate but powered the Dodgers to a win on Tuesday.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was finishing his warm-up pitches on the mound at Dodger Stadium before he began Tuesday night’s game against the Miami Marlins. As that was happening, MLB Network’s Greg Amsinger declared a “no-hitter watch” for the Los Angeles Dodgers rookie.

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but we are already on no-hitter alert,” Amsinger said, per Awful Announcing. “Yoshinobu Yamamoto, before he throws a single pitch tonight against the Marlins.”

No more than 30 seconds after, Marlins center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched Yamamoto’s first pitch of the night into the seats for a leadoff home run. The ‘announcer’s jinx’ is often joked about and this was a prime example of that happening.

Some fans saw the humor in it all, while other professional Dodgers haters took it as the national media hyping up LA a little too much once again. Whatever side you’re on, it’s hard not to laugh at that clip.

Yamamoto lost the no-hitter and shutout on the first pitch he threw and the Dodgers were behind. The first inning was the only time LA trailed in its 8-2 win as Max Muncy launched a grand slam in the bottom of the first to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead.

Yamamoto settled in after the first and tossed eight efficient innings, fanning five Marlins while allowing two runs on five hits. He threw 97 pitches in his fourth consecutive quality start. He’s earned the win in each of his last three outings.

“The most important thing is to lead the team to the victory and ideally to stay on a low pitch count,” Yamamoto said through an interpreter, per the Associated Press. “If that can lead to winning, that becomes meaningful for myself.”
