The 23-year-old allowed three runs on five hits and two walks across 4.2 innings. Sasaki threw four strikeouts in a Dodgers-high 93 pitch outing against the Pirates.

Sasaki discussed his performance postgame, and revealed what he hopes to fix by his next start.

“My delivery feels pretty in sync. And even the pitches I don’t really necessarily command, I feel pretty good about,” Sasaki said through Ireton to The Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett.
