Sasaki Struggles in Spring Start Following Mural Unveiling

Roki Sasaki faced a challenging spring training outing on Monday, surrendering five runs and issuing six walks over two-plus innings of work. This performance follows recent cultural recognition for the Dodgers pitcher, who was featured alongside teammates Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in a new 12-story mural unveiled by artist Robert Vargas in Torrance, California. The artwork celebrates the trio as a cultural bridge between Los Angeles and Japan.
