Sasaki Exit Dooms Dodgers in Walk-Off | Atlanta Braves News

Dodgers crumble in a heartbreaker, falling 6-5 to the Braves in a walk-off as ace Roki Sasaki exits early with a blister on his middle finger—just on his 66th pitch. Sasaki’s been unstoppable since the All-Star break, posting a 2.31 ERA in six starts and logging his most innings (23) this season. The game was a rollercoaster: Braves jumped ahead with a homer, Dodgers answered with clutch hitting to take a lead, but after Sasaki’s exit, Atlanta surged back with three runs in the fourth and sealed it with a ninth-inning walk-off single. Dodgers now sit at 80-53 and face a must-win today against Yoshinobu Yamamoto to avoid being swept. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
