Playing in the final tune-up before the regular season begins in Tokyo, two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell went 4.1 innings as the Dodgers lost to the Hanshin Tigers.

On the mound, right-hander Hiroto Saiki threw five dominant innings, giving up just one hit and one walk while striking out seven. Saiki struck out Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani to start the game and then coaxed a harmless popup from the slugger in the fourth.
