Yoshinobu Yamamoto has completed six innings in all three of his starts so far in 2026, and will try to keep that streak alive in the middle game of the Dodgers’ series against the New York Mets on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.

Fifteen of Yamamoto’s 18 innings this season have been scoreless, fueling his 2.57 ERA and 3.62 xERA to date. He allowed two runs in the fourth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks and in the third inning against the Cleveland Guardians, and a lone tally in the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays. Yamamoto pitched into the seventh in that last start, last Tuesday in Toronto, but didn’t retire any of his two batters faced in the win.

Mets rookie Nolan McLean starts on Tuesday, making his 12th major league start. He has a 2.70 ERA and 1.91 xERA with 20 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2/3 innings.
