He was\u00a0named the World Series MVP for his heroic efforts, which also included a complete game gem in Game 2.<\/p>\n<p>The righthander had a very subtle classy move in the bottom of the 11th inning that the Fox Sports cameras were able to pick up. Yamamoto was seen tipping his cap to Toronto\u2019s Vlad Guerrero Jr. as the slugger prepared to step into the batter\u2019s box with his team trailing by a run.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how that played out:<\/p>\n<p>That was such a great moment at such a pivotal moment of the game. Guerrero would go on to hit a double but then Yamamoto was able to close things out thanks to a double play that was brilliantly\u00a0turned by Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts.<\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto gave up just one hit and had one walk in his relief appearance. He finished his second season with the Dodgers with a 12-8 record and then really became a force in the postseason. Along with his complete game in the World Series, he also had a complete game win over the Brewers in the NLCS.<\/p>\n<p>Fans loved that hat tip from Yamamoto:<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named the World Series MVP after closing out Game 7. \/ @MLBonFox The Dodgers were able to\u00a0win their second straight World Series title\u00a0on Saturday&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":118870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
