Dodgers blow Yamamoto’s no hitter with 2 outs in the ninth, Orioles come all the way back to win 4-3

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was one out away from baseball history. The Dodgers’ $325 million man had Baltimore on lock all night, carving through the Orioles lineup and sitting on the doorstep of the first no-hitter of the 2025 season. Then, in a blink, everything unraveled.

With two outs in the ninth, Jackson Holliday turned on a 2-1 cutter and barely snuck it over the wall for a solo homer. Just like that, the no-hitter was gone. And for the Dodgers, that was only the beginning of the collapse.

PANDEMONIUM IN BALTIMORE

Blake Treinen came in after Holliday’s swing and set the fire alarm off. He gave up a double, hit a guy, uncorked a wild pitch, then walked in a run to cut the lead to one.

By the time Tanner Scott entered, Los Angeles was holding on by a thread. Emmanuel Rivera ripped a walk-off single, sending the O’s home happy and handing L.A. its fifth straight loss.

For Yamamoto, it goes down as one of the cruelest “almosts” you’ll ever see — dominant for 8.2 innings, only to have the Dodgers bullpen pour gasoline on what should have been his night of glory.

If I got a no-hitter with 2 outs in the 9th I need you jumping for that ball like your life depends on it. At least make an effort to catch this.

According to my research, no MLB team has ever lost a game when the starting pitcher went 8 2/3 innings without allowing a hit.

2025 Dodgers. Unbelievable.

Phillies now have a five-game lead for the second bye in the NL. The Dodgers are on a nightmare East Coast trip, losing five straight against the Pirates and Orioles.
