"ROKI SASAKI. TWO DEMON OFFSPEED PITCHES. SEVEN INNINGS. ONE RUN. EIGHT PUNCHIES. NO WALKS!!!! pic.twitter.com/gAONFOOOKG- Pitch Profiler (@pitchprofiler) May 17, 2026"
"It was the first time he completed seven innings and it was the first time - as a starting pitcher - that he did not issue a walk. And not just outstanding for him since we've all seen his struggles since coming to the majors, but outstanding for any pitcher."
"Oh, and the offense showed up for the third time this weekend. It scored double-digit runs for the second consecutive game, led by Kyle Tucker's 3-hit, 3-RBI performance. Shohei Ohtani also logged three hits and a couple runs batted in. Since bottoming out with an 0-for-5 performance against the Giants on Monday, Ohtani is 8-for-17 and has seen his OPS climb from .767 to .829."
"With the win, the Dodgers improve to 29-18 on the season. The Angels fall to an MLB-worst 16-31. The Dodgers travel to San Diego for their first 2026 clash with the Padres. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3, 3.60 ERA) takes on Michael King (3-2, 2.63). First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Pacific time."
Roki Sasaki produced his best MLB start, pitching seven innings and allowing one run while striking out eight batters and issuing no walks. The performance included two offspeed pitches and marked his first time completing seven innings and his first walk-free start as a starter. The Dodgers offense supported the outing for a second straight game with double-digit runs, led by Kyle Tucker’s three hits and three RBIs. Shohei Ohtani added three hits and a couple RBIs, improving his recent form after an 0-for-5 game. Hyeseong Kim contributed two hits, an RBI, two runs, and a walk from the No. 9 spot. The Dodgers improved to 29-18 while the Angels dropped to 16-31.
