Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64043, member: 636"] The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, and closer Roki Sasaki secured his first career save while making history with teammate Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese-born duo became the first starter and reliever pair from Japan to record a win and save in the same postseason game. Sasaki struck out two batters while reaching 100.1 mph after transitioning from starter to reliever late in the season. Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Tyler Glasnow nearly remained in the game for a three-inning save before struggling in the eighth inning. Sasaki entered with the Dodgers holding a two-run lead and closed out the victory. The performance continued his impressive bullpen work following a dominant outing against the Seattle Mariners, where he recorded four swings and misses on 12 pitches. [/QUOTE]
