Roki Sasaki, Dodgers get roughed up by White Sox with Shohei Ohtani out

Roki Sasaki's command slipped as the Dodgers were routed 8-2 by the White Sox in Chicago, with Shohei Ohtani sidelined by a knee inflammation. The Dodgers built an early 2-1 lead, but Sasaki walked three in the fifth inning as Chicago erupted for seven runs, aided by a Freeman misplay that opened the floodgates. Miguel Vargas laced an RBI double, and two-out walks plus a two-run single and a two-run triple extended the damage. Sasaki lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs with three walks and four strikeouts, before Blake Treinen allowed more. The Sox gained momentum as Eddie Rosales reported.
