Roki Sasaki Logs Season-High Six Innings Despite Dodgers' Losing Streak

Roki Sasaki (1-2, 6.35 ERA, 22 SO) showed signs of turning a corner Saturday, throwing a season-high six innings in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals. Despite his improved length and a recent mechanical adjustment to his signature pitch aimed at solidifying his rotation spot, Sasaki could not prevent the Dodgers from falling to their fourth consecutive defeat. The team's offensive struggles, highlighted by four double plays, left Sasaki without support in the narrow loss.
