The L.A. lineup will face Cubs right-hander Ben Brown, who has a 7.71 ERA across 11.2 innings pitched, on the mound. He is 1-1 with 15 strikeouts and a 2.23 WHIP.
The Dodgers returned from their road trip and immediately got back into the swing of things Friday against Chicago.
Ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six scoreless innings against the Cubs to improve his record to 2-1 and lower his ERA to 1.23. Tommy Edman hit a three-run homer, keeping him atop the MLB home run leaderboard in a five-way tie.
The defending champions will look to build off of Friday night’s 3-0 victory with Sasaki on the mound Saturday.
Sasaki already faced the Cubs once this year in Japan, going three innings and allowing one run with five walks.
