How Did Roki Sasaki Do in First Spring Training Start?
Los Angeles Dodgers starting Pitcher Roki Sasaki struggled in his first start of 2026 spring training, allowing 3 runs and exiting the game after 1.1 innings.
He threw 36 pitches and recorded three strikeouts in the appearance, giving up five hits and issuing two walks.
Sasaki allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base, and — after a highlight play in center field from Hyeseong Kim — a Nolan Arenado double scored the first run of the game. Ildemaro Vargas stepped up to bat next, doubling to right field to score two more runners.
