LOS ANGELES ā Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki (1-2) rides his forkball into the sixth inning, going that deep for the first time this season, and allows four runs ā including three homers ā but earns win No. 1 this season by slowing down a hot team on Saturday at home. Los Angeles beats Chicago 12-4 to snap the Cubs' 10-game winning streak as Sasaki allowed seven hits and walks one, while striking out five.
Q: Roki, you threw way more splitters this start than you have all your starts previously. What led to that?
