Dodgers Finally Get Offense Going in Series-Deciding Win vs. Tigers
The Los Angeles Dodgers finally managed to get some runs on the board Sunday, scoring six in their win over the Detroit Tigers.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers managed to score six runs, clinching a series-deciding victory over the Detroit Tigers. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who returned from the injured list, pitched effectively for seven innings, striking out six batters and giving up only two hits and one earned run. The Tigers' offense was also sluggish, but the Dodgers' was equally slow to get going.
Neither team scored until the fourth inning, when Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez both singled, with Miguel Rojas' sacrifice fly driving in the first baseman. The Tigers responded in the bottom of the frame, with Gleyber Torres singling to lead off the inning and advancing to second base on a wild pitch, eventually scoring on Kevin McGonigle's single.
The Dodgers' next breakthrough came in the sixth inning, when Teoscar Hernandez continued his inconsistent form, reaching base and launching a two-run home run over the left center field wall, adding two more runs to the Dodgers' score. Glasnow continued to dominate in the sixth and seventh innings, shutting down the Tigers and enabling the Dodgers to take the lead in the top of the eighth inning.
With the bases loaded and just one out, a wild pitch advanced all three runners, and Max Muncy's single and another wild pitch scored the final three runs of the inning. Kyle Hurt and Seth Halvorsen combined for two scoreless innings, securing the win and the series for the Dodgers. The Dodgers will now head home to face the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. PT, aiming to capitalize on their recent offensive resurgence.
