Dominant Display in Anaheim
Roki Sasaki recorded his second victory of the season on Tuesday, delivering a career‑high seven innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 10‑1 rout of the Los Angeles Angels.
The right‑hander surrendered just one run while scattering four hits, striking out eight batters without issuing a walk, a performance that underscored his growing command.
Shohei Ohtani added a key contribution at the plate, going 3‑for‑5 with a two‑run single in the fourth inning that helped the Dodgers pull away early.
Ohtani’s three hits also included a single that drove in two runs, and his overall line of 3‑for‑5 raised his average during the current stretch.
The win extended the Dodgers’ winning streak to five games, a momentum swing that has put them firmly in contention for the playoffs.
Ohtani later reflected on his approach, noting a better feel for the strike zone and a desire to translate that into more extra‑base hits and home runs.
With the Angels unable to mount a response, the Dodgers’ offense continued to click, setting the stage for a potentially pivotal stretch of games as the season progresses.
