L.A. Dodgers made MLB history April 1

They became the first MLB team to start a Japanese-born pitcher in three consecutive games:

Sasaki (March 30), Ohtani (March 31), Yamamoto (April 1)

They all had great starts too.

He's the struggling one of the trio. I'd wish for him to get his pitching on track for the entire season, but it's the Dodgers, so I won't wish them any more success.
