LOS ANGELES — There was no silent treatment after Ryan Ward rounded the bases for his first big-league home run. He’d waited long enough, including 725 games in the minors, before he cleared the fence for the first time. So Andy Pages was there to shower him with sunflower seeds after Ward took Andrew Painter deep to open up a three-run lead in a blowout win. The trip around the bases was a blur.“Kind of a blackout, if I’m going to be honest with you,” Ward said. “Hit it, and I just went numb.”A mess of alcohol, condiments, and whatever the rest of the Los Angeles Dodgers could find awaited Ward when he returned to the clubhouse after a 9-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.“I’m probably going to smell for a little bit,” Ward said. “It was all over the place.”Things are feeling good for the Dodgers, even as injuries have shaken up the roster. Ward is here to play the outfield after Teoscar Hernández strained his hamstring this week.The Dodgers’ win Sunday was their 14th in their last 17 games, a stretch that includes five consecutive series victories. The Dodgers are playing their best baseball of the year and getting contributions throughout the roster. Sunday, that meant production from Ward and Alex Freeland, two of the newest guys in the lineup.“Everybody in this locker room is a superstar,” said Freeland, who collected a double and a home run in just his second game back up from Oklahoma City.Yoshinobu Yamamoto benefitted from some run support, carrying a six-run lead when he exited after 5 1/3 scoreless innings. The right-hander clearly was frustrated with his command and still struck out 10. The Dodgers are cruising.“I think it just speaks to how we’re playing,” said manager Dave Roberts, who celebrated his 54th birthday with a victory.From the moment Roki Sasaki signed with the Dodgers, one homework assignment looked potentially unsolvable, even to some in the organization.For every tweak the Dodgers have made to Sasaki’s arsenal and delivery, the greatest unknown among club personnel was whether Sasaki would rediscover the premium velocity that made him one of the most famous pitchers on the planet.Sasaki’s three-year odyssey to rediscover his fastball velocity might have its answer.“It feels like it’s all put together right now,” Sasaki said Saturday through interpreter Kensuke Okubo.He grunted as he fired a fastball to the Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber to start his night on Saturday, a pitch that Schwarber fouled off. It clocked in at 100.1 mph, the first pitch Sasaki had thrown all season that hit triple digits. That set up the splitter that followed, which Schwarber waved through. And Sasaki was off from there.Sasaki hit 100 mph again an inning later, a 100.4 mph heater to J.T. Realmuto that clipped the zone but was called a ball. He touched 99 mph or harder 14 times, more than he has in any game in the majors. The 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball he threw against the Philadelphia Phillies could reconfigure what might be possible for him.His day was officially in the books when Alex Vesia worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth unscathed. Vesia could not hide his glee for Sasaki, smacking him on the shoulders and even getting the reserved Sasaki to smile.
