Glasnow lasted two full innings and faced a batter in the third, allowing a single hit while striking out four. The big right-hander struck out the side in the first inning, forcing whiffs from Austin Hays and Lenyn Sosa and catching Kyle Teel looking. He looked just as good in the second inning, retiring the side in order with a groundout, a lineup and his fourth strikeout of the outing.

I think Connor and Mark gave me so many things. Right before the postseason, we made some adjustments with how my hip is lined up. And I think a lot of my issues before that was me trying to find a comfortable feeling with that. And so I think working with them, getting that feeling, locking it in the postseason.

New Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edwin Diaz was unveiled less than a week ago. However, he has already been named the closer for the upcoming season by the president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman. The Dodgers have clear bullpen issues heading into the upcoming season, and a hole at the closer spot, making it a no-doubt proposition that he will take the ball to close out games.

They have to go one game at a time, though, and that starts Monday night, with right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow taking the mound for LA against Blue Jays right-hander (and former Dodger) Max Scherzer. Glasnow has made three appearances (two starts) this postseason, allowing just one run across 13.1 innings for a 0.68 ERA.

The Dodgers took back home field advantage on Saturday, winning Game 2 thanks to some late offense and a Yoshinobu Yamamoto masterclass. Yama tossed his second consecutive complete game and retired the final 20 batters he faced, holding the high-powered Toronto offense to a run and four hits for a 5-1 Dodger win.

Tyler Glasnow was brilliant over seven no-hit innings, striking out 11. Reliever Blake Treinen pitched a perfect eighth before Ryan Ritter broke up the no-hitter by lining Tanner Scott 's third pitch to left field for a double. The ball appeared catchable off the bat, but left fielder Alex Call turned the wrong way, costing him any chance to make a play.

After having his start pushed back due to some back issues, Tyler Glasnow started the game strong by striking out the side in the 1st. The 2nd didn't go as smoothly, as he issued a lead-off walk, which led to a stolen base. A flyball advanced the runner, and a sac fly from Kyle Farmer followed to put the Rockies up 1-0 before Glasnow got his fourth strikeout to end the inning.

Tyler Glasnow was initially supposed to start for the Dodgers in tonight's series opener in Baltimore. Los Angeles instead pushed Shohei Ohtani up from his scheduled start on Monday. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that came about after Glasnow reported back stiffness this afternoon (link via Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register). Roberts framed it as a precautionary measure and suggested they're hopeful the righty can take the ball in a few days.

Despite appearing to have blood coming from his right hand, Glasnow retired the first 10 batters faced before hitting Ketel Marte with a pitch to give the Diamondbacks their first baserunner of the game with one out in the fourth inning. Glasnow then retired six more batters in a row before Ildemaro Vargas beat the shift with an infield single.
