LOS ANGELES--Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up two hits over five scoreless innings for Los Angeles against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night in his Dodger Stadium debut, bouncing back from a rough opening outing last week in South Korea.

Yamamoto gave up a two-out double to Alec Burleson in the fifth ended his outing by retiring Brandon Crawford on a flyout. Yamamoto threw 45 of 68 pitches for strikes, averaging 95.3 mph for 28 fastballs. He threw 20 splitters, 18 curveballs and two cutters.

Yamamoto was given a lead on consecutive RBI singles by Freddie Freeman and Will Smith int he fifth. Daniel Hudson relieved starting sixth.
