Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Roki Sasaki: “You’re talking about one of the great all-time appearances out of the ‘pen that I can remember.” "We're starting to see something really special in him."

The Dodgers' MVP of this game (and NLDS) is Roki Sasaki. He got the save in Game 1. He got the save in Game 2. He pitched a perfect 8th-10th innings in Game 4. The Dodgers are going to the NLCS and have their closer for the rest of this postseason.

This is the play that sent the Dodgers to the NLCS. Just brutal for the Phillies. https://t.co/FHRknCIoAz

The Dodgers are going to the NLCS on an error. Oh my god.

Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old rookie, in the 8th-10th innings of a potential closeout NLDS game against the Phillies: 3 IP 0 H 0 ER 0 BB 2 K 36 pitches 8 whiffs Special is an understatement. https://t.co/mJR4685eL0

If the Dodgers win this game, Roki Sasaki is the MVP. He entered in the 8th inning and has completely shut down the Phillies for 3 innings. He's thrown 3 perfect innings and is giving the Dodgers offense a chance to win it with one run in the 10th. The rookie is unbelievable.

Roki Sasaki is unbelievable. He just flew through the 8th and 9th innings against the heart of the Phillies order. It took him just 18 pitches. https://t.co/B8wTJV2hAG

Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki entered a 1-1 game in the 8th inning tasked with facing Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm. He needed just 8 pitches in a 1-2-3 inning. Dominance. https://t.co/VECrA9uf1d

That was one of the worst at-bats of the season from Teoscar Hernandez as Jhoan Duran couldn't throw a strike. Hernandez saw four balls. He swung at three of them. The Dodgers had a chance to take the lead. Instead, they're tied at 1 going into the 8th.

Shohei Ohtani was 1-for-17 in the NLDS heading into this at-bat against Jhoan Duran. The Phillies decided to walk him to face Mookie Betts. Betts earned a 6-pitch walk. This game is tied at 1. What a moment for the Dodgers.

Tyler Glasnow with an incredible performance in NLDS Game 4: 6 IP 2 H 0 ER 3 BB 8 K 83 pitches 16 whiffs The Dodgers offense couldn't give Glasnow a run of support. Emmet Sheehan is now on in relief. https://t.co/JCC1zvuuGz

It's a pitchers' duel through 5 innings between the Dodgers and Phillies in NLDS Game 4. Tyler Glasnow: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 70 pitches Cristopher Sanchez: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 62 pitches Alex Call: 1-for-1 with a single and HBP The rest of the Dodgers: 1-for-16

The Dodgers lose to the Phillies, 8-2, as Philadelphia keeps its season alive. The Dodgers offense went silent. Clayton Kershaw struggled in his second inning of work. The Dodgers will look to end the series tomorrow. If not, things could get very dangerous.

The Phillies brought in Ranger Suarez after two shutout innings. Tommy Edman responded with a first pitch home run. The reigning NLCS MVP has the Dodgers' first run of the game as they look to get back to the NLCS. https://t.co/Rt4cHR1ZTn

Roki Sasaki made just 8 starts in his rookie year. He then quickly rushed into a bullpen role for the first time in his career. Thus far in the postseason: 3 games (he got the final out in all of them) 2.1 IP 1 H 0 ER 0 BB 2 Saves Just unbelievable stuff from the 23-year-old.

Roki Sasaki is the Dodgers' closer. There's no other option. Sasaki saved the Dodgers, retiring NL batting champion Trea Turner with two on and two outs in the 9th inning of a one-run game. At 23 years old, he came through in the biggest of moments. https://t.co/esYbrzlUg2

The Dodgers beat the Phillies, 4-3, and take a commanding 2-0 lead in the NLDS. Blake Snell was dominant across 6 shutout innings. Blake Treinen allowed 3 straight hits and 2 runs, Alex Vesia got 2 big outs. Then, Roki Sasaki came in and retired Trea Turner to get the save.

Roki Sasaki is coming into NLDS Game 2 to get the final out. The Dodgers lead 4-3. There are runners at the corners with two outs. Sasaki is facing the NL batting champion, Trea Turner.

Roki Sasaki was warming up during the 7th inning but didn't come in. Two innings later, the Dodgers went with Blake Treinen in the 9th instead of Sasaki, who was sitting in the bullpen. The Phillies now have the tying run on second base with nobody out in the 9th.

The Dodgers bullpen was their problem all season long. Blake Treinen (not Roki Sasaki) came into the 9th with a 3-run lead. It's now a 1-run lead and Nick Castellanos is on 2nd base with no outs. Yet another brutal outing from Treinen and LA is suddenly in trouble.
