Roki Sasaki Shows Promise in Season Debut Despite Dodgers Loss

Roki Sasaki made his season debut for the Dodgers on Monday against the Guardians. While the team fell 4-2, Sasaki showed promise, racking up nine whiffs with his overpowering raw stuff. Entering the season under pressure to secure his rotation spot, he received a vote of confidence from manager Dave Roberts.
