Summary
Roki Sasaki’s night ended in disaster as he unraveled in the fifth inning, surrendering seven runs and exiting after just four innings — his shortest outing in eight starts. What began as a promising two-run lead turned into an 8-2 rout after Chicago’s barrage of eleven batters, including a key double from former Dodger Miguel Vargas and a walk-loaded inning that sealed his fate. Sasaki’s seven earned runs marked a career high, and even Blake Treinen couldn’t stem the tide. The Dodgers now turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Saturday, while Shohei Ohtani’s status remains uncertain with knee inflammation. Friday’s meltdown was all about that wild fifth inning — and a brutal loss. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
