Glasnow allowed only a single and a walk, and another batter reached on an error.

Groundball double plays erased two of those runners, which meant Glasnow only faced one over the minimum in his eight scoreless innings. That matched the longest outing of his career, the fourth time he’s done it and first since April 21, 2024 against the New York Mets . San Francisco only batted twice with a runner in scoring position, both in the first inning after Luis Arráez stole second base with one out.

But Glasnow struck out both Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers to end the only real threat against him. Glasnow, who allowed three hits to the Colorado Rockies and Giants in 15 innings in his two starts on the road trip, struck out nine batters batters on Thursday, lowering his ERA to 2. 45 to go with his 31.

7-percent strikeout rate and team-leading 38 strikeouts against only seven walks this season. Glasnow matched teammate Justin Wrobleski for the longest start by a Dodger this season. Both Glasnow and Wrobleski faced one batter over the minimum in their gems .
