Roki Sasaki allowed one run on four hits over seven innings, and Kyle Tucker went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game Freeway Series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 10-1 victory on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, California.
Sasaki (2-3) didn’t walk a batter for the first time in 16 career MLB starts and struck out a career-high eight batters. He threw 91 pitches — 69 for strikes — while earning his third career victory.
“The first time, some of the guys were saying his split/slider were going away to righties, and then the second time through, it was going in to them,” Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said. “I don’t know if he’s doing that by design, but I think it was just effectively wild in the strike zone where guys couldn’t zone him up. He was tough today, man. He pitched good, kept us off balance.”
