Roki Sasaki Allows One Run Across Four Innings
1 day agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki allowed one run across four innings of work in his start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon. Sasaki was given a no decision. He struck out four batters and allowed three hits and two walks. Sasaki allowed two straight singles to open the contest but was able to escape the inning by allowing just one run, off an Alec Bohm RBI groundout. This was a nice bounce-back for Sasaki, as he was only able to log one 2/3 innings in his previous outing against the Detroit Tigers. In this start, he allowed three hits, four walks, and a run. The 23-year-old saw similar issues in his first start of the campaign overseas, facing the Cubs, as he allowed three hits and two walks across four innings of work. While Sasaki carries elite strikeout upside, his lack of control does add a lot of risk. He will look to continue to develop in his next start against the Cubs.
