Japanese pitcher Sasaki Roki of the Dodgers pitched 4 innings on the 6th, allowing only 1 run, with 4 strikeouts and 2 walks. In the end, the Dodgers defeated the Phillies 3 to 1. Although he did not earn the win, Sasaki regained his confidence. He stated that the struggles in the previous two games made him anxious, but through hard work in practice, he feels capable of performing well. During the game, after allowing a run in the first inning, Sasaki stabilized his performance and retired 9 batters. On the other hand, Shohei Ohtani did bullpen sessions before the game, striving to return to the mound. Dodgers manager Roberts praised Ohtani's progress, planning to acclimate him to a 7-day pitching rhythm, and once he is back to form, will rotate him with 6 pitchers.

After bidding farewell to his lackluster performances in the previous two starts, Dodgers' Japanese ace Roki Sasaki pitched 4 innings in the game on the 6th, allowing only 3 hits and 1 run, while recording 4 strikeouts and 2 walks. The Dodgers also relied on home runs by Hernández and Conforto, defeating the Phillies 3-1. Although he didn't earn the win, Sasaki at least regained his confidence.

He stated, "In the first two starts, I wanted to throw good pitches, but I couldn't do it, so after the previous game, I was really working hard on my skills, which made me feel capable today." Sasaki mentioned, "This week felt a bit anxious because, after all, you have to pitch to know if you can really do it."

The only issue for Sasaki in the game came in the first inning, when he allowed the Phillies to hit two consecutive singles and gave up 1 run, but he quickly stabilized and retired 9 consecutive Phillies batters. It wasn't until the bottom of the fifth inning that he walked on four pitches upon entering the game, then allowed a single to first base, after which the Dodgers immediately took him out.

On the other hand, Shohei Ohtani's performance yesterday was 3 at-bats with 0 hits, receiving only 1 walk. However, he conducted his second bullpen session of the season before the game, throwing a total of 26 pitches. After undergoing right elbow surgery on September 19, 2023, Ohtani will focus on hitting, but this season he will attempt to return to the mound and serve as a starting pitcher. Dodgers' manager Roberts described Ohtani's second bullpen session as "positive," stating, "About a week apart, Ohtani will have another bullpen session in a week, and we hope he can adapt to the 7-day pitching rhythm." Once Ohtani is ready to pitch, the Dodgers will rotate 6 starting pitchers.
