ARLINGTON, Tex. — Roki Sasaki was in line for his first career win in Major League Baseball on Saturday.

Instead, the Dodgers suffered their first walk-off loss of the season.

Up a run in the bottom of the ninth, thanks in large part to Sasaki’s season-long six-inning, two-run start, the Dodgers’ bullpen couldn’t hold on.

Primary closer Tanner Scott was down after closing out Friday’s win. Top ninth-inning alternative Blake Treinen was placed on the injured list pregame with forearm tightness.
