After challenging starts in his MLB career, Roki Sasaki rebounded with an impressive performance against the Phillies, allowing one run over four innings. His improved outing featured a focus on his fastball and splitter, with four strikeouts and minimal walks. Kiké Hernández noted the exaggerated scrutiny Sasaki faces due to expectations, while the Dodgers emphasize patience in his development. Sasaki credited a strong bullpen session for restoring his confidence, preparing him for his upcoming start against the Cubs.
"Everything is under a microscope right now because of all the hype, but if it was any other random name who struggled through their first two starts, nobody would be making a big deal out of it."
"The week after struggling in his Dodger Stadium debut was filled with anxiety but he was encouraged by a bullpen session leading into starting at Citizens Bank Park."
