After his first inning, Yamamoto chased as the Padres defeated the Dodgers to share the Seoul Series.

South Korea’s SEOUL Xander Bogaerts of San Diego was sad to leave the Gocheok Sky Dome after his team chased Yoshinobu Yamamoto from his major league debut after one inning and scored their highest runs ever against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“We should be here more,” he murmured.

The Padres defeated the Dodgers 15-11 on Thursday night, thanks in part to a career-high four hits and four RBIs from Jake Cronenworth. The Dodgers had fired Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter due to claims of unlawful gambling.

Ippei Mizuhara, the team’s interpreter, was fired on Wednesday in response to accusations from ESPN and the Los Angeles Times over his purported connections to an illicit bookmaker.

Ohtani was 3 for 10 with two RBIs in the series and hit three deep flyouts on a 1-for-5 night, including a sacrifice fly. He didn’t talk to any reporters.

“I hope Sho is good, but you know, at the end of the day we have to make sure we take care of our jobs,” said Mookie Betts, who had six RBIs along with four hits that included the first home run of the major league season. “No matter what cards we’re dealt, we better go play them.”

Yamamoto and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts insisted Mizuhara’s situation didn’t contribute to the defeat.

“I feel regret that I just couldn’t keep the team in the game from the get-go, so I do feel the responsibility for it,” Yamamoto said through a translator. “I just got to get ready for the next outing.”

San Diego gained a split in the opening two-games series, Major League Baseball’s first games in South Korea. After the Dodgers rebounded from a 9-2 deficit and closed to 12-11, Manny Machado hit a three-run homer in the ninth off J.P. Feyereisen.
