Sasaki made two appearances during the Cactus League: the first as part of a multi-inning relief outing, the second as a starter. In total, he allowed three hits and issued three walks while striking out seven batters across seven scoreless frames.

Behind "superhero" Shohei Ohtani, a gem from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and flashes of stardom from Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers' Japanese-born standouts put on a show against the Cubs in Tokyo.

Sasaki struggles with command and walks five in three innings, but Shohei Ohtani, Kiké Hernandez and Tommy Edman homer in a 6-3 victory over the Cubs.
