Since (hopefully) hitting rock bottom in Baltimore, the Dodgers have won six of their last seven games after taking the last two against the rival Giants in their home park. Once again, it was the offense who put up crooked numbers to back their starter, though this time it wasn’t that necessary as Tyler Glasnow twirled six quality frames in an 10-2 win.
======
Let’s start with Tyler Glasnow, who early on looked like he was due to walk 10 batters and might simply not have it today.
He started by giving up a pair of a walks and a stolen base in the 1st, but a double play between that helped him out of any potential mess. The 2nd started out worse, as he hit the first batter, issued another walk, uncorked a one-out wild pitch, and then gave up a sac fly for a Giants run before he was able to get out of it.
Glasnow continued to battle his command in the 3rd, as he a lead-off walk and then a two-out walk to put himself in trouble, but he got a flyout to end that threat. Following that, Glasnow flipped the switch, as he ended up retiring 11 batters in a row to cruise into the 7th inning. A one-out single broke that up, and a two-out double ended his time on the mound, as Dave Roberts let him really try to go deep.
Shakier than it looks on paper, but got results: 6.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 4 K, 108 Pitches.
Edgardo Henriquez relieved him and got him out of the jam on just one pitch by getting a groundout.

Of course, it was the Dodger offense that again stole the show a bit, as they scored in bunches for the second game in a row.
After Robbie Ray got a 1-2-3 inning in the 1st, he started to labor in the 2nd. Freddie Freeman led things off with a single, and Alex Call drew a one-out walk, then both of them advanced on a wild pitch. Enrique Hernandez then plated a run with a sac fly.

Rojas stole second following that, and Ben Rortvedt walked to load the bases, but Ray got Shohei to strikeout.

That seemed like it would loom large, but the Dodgers got right back in the 3rd. A Mookie Betts infield single was followed by a Teoscar Hernandez single, a Freddie Freeman flyout cornered the runners, and Tommy Edman got a bit fortunate that a double play wasn’t turned on his groundout to score a run.

After a relatively quiet 4th, the Dodgers blew the game open in the 5th. Mookie drew a walk, Teoscar singled again, and Freddie ripped a double to right to make it 3-1 and knock Ray out of the game.

Their pen provided no relief, as Tommy Edman walked to load the bases and Michael Conforto singled past a drawn-in infield to plate two runs.

Edman then scored on a disengagement violation to make it 6-1, though the rally did end there.

Surprisingly, they continued to tack on runs. In the 6th, it was Betts and Teoscar again starting the rally with singles (the latter a roller), and with two down, Conforto hit another roller for a single to load things up. Miguel Rojas then came through with a single of his own to plate two and make it 8-1.

After a scoreless 7th, they got on the board again in the 8th, as back-to-back-to-back singles from Edman, Freeman, and Conforto made it 9-1. The latter got Conforto’s batting average above .200 for the first time since April.

The 9th provided some amusement as Shohei Ohtani reached for the first time on a “single” that was a miscommunication, Teoscar singled for his fourth hit to put a pair on, and Edman’s second hit got them their 10th run of the night.

In the 8th it was Michael Kopech taking over for the pen with a big lead, and he continued to look shaky. A lead-off walk was followed by a single, and after a pair of outs a single down the line in left made it 9-2.
Kirby Yates was tasked with protecting what became an eight-run lead again in the 9th, and after an out it looked like he gave up a bloop double but the runner missed the bag at first to give him a second. Yates then got the last out for a nice and easy game by a 10-2 final.

Well, now the Dodgers return home for a series that’s arguably bigger than this last one, as they play the Phillies for three games trailing them by 4.5 games for the bye. Basically, they need a sweep for any chance, but they’ll be facing their best three starters. It’ll be Emmet Sheehan for the Dodgers against Ranger Suarez at 4:10 PM HT/7:10 PM PT/10:10 PM ET on SNLA and MLB Network.
