Dodgers sweep the Angels<\/p>\n
From Maddie Lee<\/a>: Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki<\/a>\u2019s first pitch after giving up a double to Angels star Mike Trout proved he wasn\u2019t afraid to go back into the strike zone.<\/p>\n He landed his forkball, the slower version of the new splitter that he introduced this season, for a strike to Nolan Schanuel. Then he tested Schanuel with another forkball, this time out of the zone, and a low fastball.<\/p>\n Now behind in the count, he went back to the first spot, this time with the fastball. Schanuel fouled it off. Time to switch things up with a slider, which Schanuel also got a piece of. Then the putaway pitch: a forkball on the edge of the plate for a whiff.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was one of those things where you kind of just picked one of the three [pitches] that you wanted to use to get ahead,\u201d catcher Dalton Rushing said Sunday after the Dodgers<\/a> routed the Angels, 10-1<\/a>. \u201cAnd then from there, you can kind of play the chase card with him a little bit, and get outside of hitters\u2019 comfort zone. And obviously with the stuff that he has, it\u2019s easy to miss barrels. And we hadn\u2019t quite gotten to see that just yet, and today was obviously a big step.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Shaikin: Hey, young athletes: Would you trust this former Dodgers pitcher to manage your money?<\/a> <\/p>\n Dodgers box score<\/a> <\/p>\n MLB standings<\/a> <\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.
