""I told him afterwards - I don't care about the line score, I care about the pitches in totality. And those ones that we want back, we'll get those back.""
""Sasaki completed two scoreless innings before things began to unravel in the third. He gave up a two-run homer to Luis García Jr. on a poorly located fastball up and in the middle of the zone.""
""Though, one of those was a ground ball that ricocheted off the first base bag and carried over Freddie Freeman's head.""
""Roberts previously expressed confidence that Sasaki should have a better 2026 season after struggling for most of his rookie campaign.""
Roki Sasaki had a challenging outing against the Washington Nationals, giving up six runs and five hits in five innings. Despite the poor performance, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts appreciated Sasaki's resilience in completing five innings, which helped preserve the bullpen for the upcoming series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sasaki's struggles included two home runs and a difficult fourth inning, but he finished strong by retiring the side in the fifth. Roberts remains optimistic about Sasaki's future performance in the 2026 season.
