ST. LOUIS (CBSMiami/AP) — Rookie Jordan Yamamoto led the Miami Marlins to a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
In his first two starts, Yamamoto has done things that have been accomplished once, or not at all, in the past century.
It’s been a dream debut for the 23-year-old rookie, who was acquired by the Marlins in the Christian Yelich trade and summoned from Double-A to the majors earlier this month.
Yamamoto dazzled again on Tuesday night, matching his first career start by pitching seven scoreless innings against St. Louis.
Yamamoto (2-0) allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked two.
