Roki Sasaki had his best start yet in MLB, pitching six innings, allowing two runs against the Texas Rangers, yet it was overshadowed by a heartbreaking walk-off loss for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers led 3-2 in the ninth but faltered when Kirby Yates, filling in for the injured Tanner Scott, gave up a two-run home run to Adolis García. This loss marked the end of a promising outing for Sasaki, who struggled with fastball velocity but showcased his skills with effective splitters and sliders.

The Dodgers rallied to erase an early 2-0 deficit, highlighted by a two-run homer from Freddie Freeman and a crucial ground-rule double from Max Muncy. However, the absence of closer Tanner Scott proved significant as the team could not secure the win. Manager Dave Roberts reported that Scott’s injury is under evaluation but currently doesn't seem to be serious.
