Dodgers Pummel Angels Behind Patient Bats, Tyler Glasnow
Behind Tyler Glasnow's dominant outing, the Los Angeles Dodgers outlast the Los Angeles Angels to begin the Freeway Series
Opening Day is just a mere four days away. The Los Angeles Dodgers completed Cactus League play on Saturday, and before they could begin their treacherous journey to a three-peat, they had to go through one more series against their crosstown rival, the Los Angeles Angels . In the end, the Dodgers prevailed 13-5.
Tyler Glasnow was the slated starter for the Dodgers and completed his final spring tune-up in dominant fashion. In five scoreless innings, he struck out 11 Angels, only allowing one earned run, walked one, all on 81 pitches. All 11 of Glasnow's strikeouts came via his curveball.

Outfielder Jorge Soler caught Glasnow's only mistake of the evening, launching a 2-2 fastball down the middle for a solo home run. Teoscar Hernández returned the favor in the third inning with a solo home run of his own off Angels starter George Klassen. That would be just the beginning of what was to come, that's for sure.
