Freddie Freeman Crushes a Walkoff Homer, Lifting the Dodgers over the Angels 1-0

Freeman finished with two hits and a walk as Roki Sasaki struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings.

  • On Friday night, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run leading off the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting Los Angeles past the Angels 1-0 in the Freeway Series opener.
  • Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki and Angels left-hander Reid Detmers engaged in a taut pitchers' duel, with Sasaki striking out a career-high 10 over seven scoreless innings while Detmers allowed just two hits through six innings.
  • Sasaki's elevated fastball velocity proved lethal, reaching 100.6 mph in the second inning with an average of 98.3 mph Friday, 1.2 mph harder than his season average. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said Sasaki "was sitting 98, 99, 100 and with the nasty split and slider."
  • Yates, who spent last season with the Dodgers before signing as a free agent with the Angels, threw a 92 mph fastball on a 3-and-2 count that Freeman launched into the bleachers in right-center field.
  • Freeman's sixth career walk-off home run extended the Dodgers' winning streak to four consecutive games against the Angels this season, coming a night after Los Angeles gave up a walk-off homer in Arizona on Thursday.
