Yoshinobu Yamamoto records his 10th strikeout of the night! https://t.co/MSIxYyUJPx Via @MLB on X

What happened: Yamamoto recorded his 10th strikeout during the NLDS Game 3 start in Atlanta. The outing was his first postseason start with double-digit strikeouts.

Why it matters: The start was a rematch following the 1-0 shutout in August. A double-digit strikeout road start in October shapes pitch counts and bullpen use for the rest of the series.

By the numbers: 10 strikeouts in NLDS Game 3; first postseason start with 10+ strikeouts; seven innings with one run allowed.

What to watch: Watch the final line for Game 3 and how the late innings are handled after the start.
