The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Texas Rangers, 4-3, despite Roki Sasaki throwing a career-high innings at Globe Life Field.
Sasaki went six innings, allowing just two hits and two earned runs. He threw four strikeouts along with three walks in the outing. He also noted after the game, via The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya, that he was surprised to see his first-inning velocity had dipped.

Ardaya reported that Sasaki is healthy, but the uncharacteristic 92-93 mph velocity was likely a result of his mechanics.
