Dodgers rely on Roki Sasaki to end six-game losing streak

The Los Angeles Dodgers will have Roki Sasaki starting Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks as they attempt to end a six-game losing streak. The Dodgers were swept in their last two series against the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, which has placed pressure on their division lead. Justin Wrobleski remains in the rotation for Sunday after allowing eight home runs in his last two starts. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks, who have won their last four meetings against Los Angeles, could reduce their eight-game deficit in the National League West with a strong showing this weekend. This series marks a critical point as the season battle for the division intensifies.
