Roki Sasaki Dominates in Relief, Dialing Fastball Past 100 MPH for Dodgers

Roki Sasaki pitched a perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts in the Dodgers' 2-0 win over the Giants, topping 100 mph on four of six fastballs. Returning from an IL stint due to a hand blister, the 24-year-old has transitioned to a dominant bullpen role ahead of the postseason. Manager Dave Roberts noted Sasaki's improved fastball, splitter, and confidence. Sasaki is scheduled to pitch next in Sunday's regular-season finale before serving as a key playoff leverage option.
