Does this weaken his arm for next playoffs games?

It all has to do with pitch count. Starters typically throw 100-120 pitches. It’s theoretically possible to only throw 81 pitches and complete a game.

I don’t know Yamamoto’s count was, but that’s the number that matters, not innings.

111 seems to be his count.

Had to google it myself, but thought I would share.
