The Dodgers topped the Mets 4-2 as Roki Sasaki worked seven innings with a dominant splitter, delivering nine strikeouts and a career-high 21 whiffs to reinforce his breakout post-All-Star form, while Kyle Tucker provided late insurance with a two-run homer—the first since June 27. The win extended Sasaki’s surge and highlighted Tucker’s timely power as Los Angeles pulled ahead late in the game.
