Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki sends mixed signals with latest spring start
- On Tuesday at Goodyear Ballpark, Roki Sasaki gave up four runs without retiring a batter, and the Dodgers rallied to win 5-4.
- After the inning, Roberts said he let Mark Prior handle the exchange, as Sasaki said his upper body felt 'a little off' in the first inning and he adjusted his delivery.
- River Ryan stabilized the game by throwing two hitless innings with one walk and three strikeouts, while Miguel Rojas homered and Zach Ehrhard’s two-run triple tied the game before Ryan Ward’s RBI single gave the Dodgers the lead.
- Sasaki's spring results complicate evaluation of the rotation after his early outings raise concern about readiness, while the Dodgers, winners of nine of 12 Cactus League games, continue assessing rotation choices.
- The Cactus League re-entry rule meant Sasaki to return and retire six consecutive batters, but Dodgers coaching staff say ongoing adjustments are required after September changes.
