He also did not record a strikeout in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_8s5qjs5c9\">His performance felt like a step backwards, with Roberts acknowledging that the Japanese pitcher did not have his best stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9p1ex42ld\">\u201cI just felt tonight he was laboring from the outset,\u201d\u00a0Roberts told reporters\u00a0after Friday&#8217;s game to reporters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_v6mgi2csi\">\u201cYou could tell by facing 20 hitters and not one strikeout.

however, in Japan, pitchers take the mound only once a week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6idry3cec\">Due to injuries to Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell, both Sasaki and fellow Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto had to adjust their schedule to pitch on five days&#8217;
