Yoshinobu Yamamoto - English
Who would have thought that while Yoshinubo Yamamoto was pitching miles away against the Cincinnati Reds, another game as important as the one the Japanese was trying to win for the Dodgers was being played at his Hollywoord Hill home.
That night of July 30, there was a miscalculation. The thieves didn’t know it. So many goods! So many jewels! So much of everything! They thought the house was empty, but it wasn’t. A dog, out of nowhere, became a hero. Yes, a dog!
Shohei Ohtani switches from pitcher to hitter and shows why he is a generational talent
Yoshinubo Yamamoto’s dog thwarts robbery
The thieves jumped the fence, broke a glass door… and ran into a guardian who was not in their plan: the Japanese ace’s rescued dog.
According to Noel Sanchez, the Dodgers’ social media producer, the dog’s ferocious barking stopped the thieves in their tracks. Turning on the lights was enough for the intruders to flee without touching anything. “The suspects were unable to get into his house, in part thanks to his dog,” Sanchez said.
It can be said that this dog is an unsung hero. No one knows his name, nor does he have papers. He was not bought in a posh Beverly Hills pet boutique, nor was he brought from Japan to the metropolis of those who play at Chavez Ravine
None of that. It’s about a dog that the pitcher rescued from a shelter and became his best friend
Yamamoto revealed that he adopted the animal after his mother, who worked at a veterinary hospital, accompanied him to a shelter in Los Angeles last year
“I have loved animals since I was a child”
During spring training in Arizona, the animal even shared games with Shohei Ohtani and his dog Decoy.
It’s not the first attempted robbery at the Dodgers
The attempted robbery of Yamamoto adds to a worrying list: teammates such as Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy have already suffered assaults on their homes in recent years. The vulnerability is evident when players are traveling. Some have hired private security; Yamamoto trusted his dog and won.
Outside of the scare, the Japanese right-hander’s season is untouchable: 2.51 ERA in 22 starts, with 139 strikeouts and only 39 walks in 122 innings. July saw him make his first All-Star Game, and his numbers from last postseason (1.72 ERA in key games) remain a benchmark for redemption.
The thieves could not steal his concentration, and opposing batters have not been able to steal his dominance.

Fantasy Football Week 6: 5 to waiver wire add, 5 to drop, 5 to buy low, 5 to sell high
Estimated reading time: 14 minutes This piece is a fantasy manager's one-stop shop for managing their fantasy roster early in the week. For more players to add, check out the weekly waiver wire, and for more on this past week's games in general, check out the fantasy football recap. 5 PLAYERS TO ADD 1. RB Michael Carter, Arizona Cardinals While Emari Demercado led the Cardinals in rushing yards in Week 5, Carter was the team’s primary running back on early downs. Arizona placed Trey Benson on injured reserve on Wednesday after he underwent surgery to repair a meniscus, which will reportedly cost him four to six weeks. That move came after James Conner landed on season-ending injured reserve the week before. There was a mad scramble to pick up Carter and Demercado in fantasy leagues, as it was not obvious […]

Raducanu retires from Wuhan Open first round
Emma Raducanu retired from her first-round match at the Wuhan Open against Ann Li as she appeared to struggle with the humid conditions.Raducanu was 6-1 4-1 down to Li when she decided to retire after a medical timeout, having looked almost dizzy at points in the second set. The British No 1 is the latest player to retire or withdraw from a tournament in recent weeks during the Asia swing with six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek criticising the "overwhelming" tennis schedule.Li, who will face Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova in the next round, said: "I want to wish Emma a fast recovery. It looks like she wasn't feeling good."It was a tough match last time, so hopefully she feels better. I'm happy with my performance, I stayed pretty solid for the entire match."

MLB playoffs 2025: Chicago Cubs, outclassed by the Brewers again in NLDS Game 2, face elimination at home as series moves to Wrigley Field
MILWAUKEE — Pete Crow-Armstrong crashing into the center-field wall as Jackson Chourio’s three-run homer rattled off the batter’s eye in center field felt awfully symbolic. In terms of both the game and the season for the Cubs.As a roar began to swell from the American Family Field crowd, much like in Game 1 of the NLDS, the Brewers were running away with it. But Chourio’s home run on Monday in Game 2 was not only a dagger in the Cubs’ 7-3 loss to Milwaukee. It also had the feeling of being a dagger in this series and the Cubs’ hopes for October, with the Brewers pushing Chicago to the brink of elimination.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I ruined the game,” Cubs starter Shota Imanaga said through interpreter Edwin Stanberry after allowing two homers in just 2 2/3 innings as Chicago fell into an 0-2 hole.

Brasileirão: abrir placar se mostra fator decisivo em reta final marcada por desgaste físico e mental
A reta final do Brasileirão trará para os três postulantes ao título alguns desafios não apenas de ordem técnica, mas principalmente física e mental. A pausa para a data Fifa veio em boa hora, já que Palmeiras, Flamengo e Cruzeiro sofreram em doses distintas na intensa maratona das últimas rodadas, experimentando uma diferença de desempenho, em especial nos confrontos mais pesados. Saiu-se melhor o alviverde, novo líder da competição após uma semana de resultados melhores. 'Instaurar caos': Após polêmica de arbitragem, Palmeiras acusa clubes de 'pressão descomunal' e 'suspeita indevida'Leia mais: Everton Ribeiro, ex-Flamengo e atualmente no Bahia, faz cirurgia para tratar câncer na tireoide O trio apresentou um padrão recente: tem iniciado alguns jogos com lentidão e sentido a pressão de atuar muitas vezes estando atrás do placar. O Bahia foi um adversário em comum nas últimas cinco rodadas […]
Como Bap e Landim levaram o Flamengo a ensaiar uma Liga que ganha força na união contra o clube
Então presidente do Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim ainda tinha Luiz Eduardo Baptista como aliado e vice-presidente de relações externas quando a diretoria rubro-negra tentou liderar o processo de implementação de uma liga no Brasil. O cenário era de domínio político da CBF e enfraquecimento progressivo dos clubes, quando os dirigentes rumaram para a sede da entidade, em 2021, e entregaram um documento para cobrar mais autonomia e melhorar o produto, a partir da aprovação da nova Lei do Mandante no mesmo ano. O grupo político rubro-negro ainda unido chegara a um consenso, com Bap e Landim juntos, de que com a nova lei e a liga o clube ganharia mais em valores absolutos, justamente pela maior arrecadação de equipes de menor expressão e torcida. Antes, a lei dava ao Flamengo o controle de 38 jogos do Brasileiro. Agora, um novo contrato […]
