"But for a split second as Glasnow threw the ball, the crowd got quiet and I was able to hear that the bat broke. So I got a really good jump on the ball. I came in, and halfway there the ball got in the lights and I was like, it's not the right time to stop and see where the ball is. Just keep going."
"At the very end the ball got out of the lights and went in my glove. I felt that guy on second off the bat, he thought the ball was going to drop. So I felt he was kind of off the bag, but I was coming in full speed so I didn't really want to throw hard because I was probably going to throw it over his head."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six strong innings before the Dodgers turned to their bullpen with a 3-1 lead. Justin Wrobleski stranded a two-out double in the seventh, and Roki Sasaki worked the eighth but was removed after hitting the leadoff batter and allowing a ground-rule double. Tyler Glasnow inherited the jam, recorded a quick out, and benefited from Kiké Hernández making a running catch in left field. Hernández, playing shallow to prevent the tying run from advancing, caught the ball out of the lights and converted the play into a game-ending double play to seal the win.
