Freddie Freeman said on October 12, 2026, that the Los Angeles Dodgers executed their offensive plan against the opposing starting pitcher and expressed confidence in Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the next game.
“I thought we had a great plan,” Freeman said of the Dodgers’ approach against the starter, adding that they got him out before five innings were complete despite not delivering a decisive hit.
Freeman described the matchup as a low-scoring contest between strong teams and pitching staffs: “It's a great pitching staff. It's two great pitching staffs, two great teams going at it.” He also said the Dodgers could view the opposing bullpen’s workload as a positive.
Freeman stated that the opposing bullpen worked four and two-thirds innings in the first game and noted that the opposing pitcher was throwing 99 to 104. The Dodgers executed their offensive plan against Misowski, according to Freeman.
Freeman said, “We'll come back out tomorrow with Yamamoto and we feel pretty confident.” The Los Angeles Dodgers will face Henderson in the next game, according to the stated plan.
