In a standout performance, Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a series win over the Milwaukee Brewers with a 5-1 victory at American Family Field on Sunday.

Yamamoto threw seven innings, allowing only one run and recording seven strikeouts, completely controlling the Brewers' offense. This marked his third consecutive start holding opponents to fewer than two runs, solidifying his place in the Dodgers' rotation.

The Dodgers' offense provided strong support, with a home run from Freddie Freeman and RBI hits from Will Smith and Max Muncy. The Brewers scored their only run on a double by Willy Adames in the fifth inning.

The win gave the Dodgers a 3-2 series victory in the five-game set, improving their record to 25-15 and maintaining their lead in the NL West. The Brewers fell to 22-18.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Yamamoto: 'He was in control of the game, dictating the pace, and that set the tone for the win.'

The Brewers will have a chance for revenge when the two teams meet again in August in Los Angeles.
