Tyler Glasnow Can't Help Dodgers in Series Loss to Marlins
Despite a solid outing from Tyler Glasnow, Los Angeles Dodgers display consecutive days of poor offense against Miami Marlins.
“We were not good situationally… that’s what it comes down to. " Those were the words muttered by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts following the loss on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins . Fast forward to Wednesday and it was more of the same.
Dodgers hitters were 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base in the 3-2 series loss against Miami. Tyler Glasnow took the mound for Los Angeles and held his own on the mound in the eventual loss. Glasnow made quick work of Marlins hitters, stacking up strikeouts as fast as they were produced and, at one point, struck out six consecutive hitters.
He's acheived that four seperate times in his career. Glasnow was able to navigate throughout the traffic he induced. The two earned runs that he had given up were all solo home runs.
It wasn't until the sixth inning where Glasnow's command would begin to turn left. After issuing his sixth walk of the game (ties a career high) Glasnow was unable to finish off the frame. Still, a dominant outing nonetheless for the right-hander as he went 5 2/3 innings striking out nine and giving up two earned runs.
