Roki Sasaki’s eventful major league career finally appears to be going the way most everyone expected when he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers at the start of last season. Sasaki pitched a career-high seven innings of four-hit ball in a 10-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, turning in the longest and most dominant start of his strange tenure in blue.

The All-NBA first team this season might have been decided in part by an appeals process. Successful petitions by the Los Angeles Lakers′ Luka Doncic and Detroit Pistons′ Cade Cunningham to gain eligibility for awards such as MVP and All-NBA this season — even after they fell short of the 65-game minimum — seem like they’re about to become very worthwhile. Doncic was fourth and Cunningham was fifth in the MVP voting, released Sunday night. And since the All-NBA teams are now positionless, it would seem that puts Doncic and Cunningham in position to be first-team selections when the league releases those teams in the coming days.
