Glasnow delivers strong final tune-up despite Dodgers loss
LOS ANGELES — Tyler Glasnow walked off the mound Thursday night having done almost everything the Dodgers could have asked of him.
Tyler Glasnow finished his final preseason tune-up with the Los Angeles Dodgers, delivering a strong performance in a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium. Glasnow struck out 11 batters over 6⅓ innings, maintaining a solid no-hit bid through the first six innings. However, the Padres broke through late, securing a victory and clinching a postseason berth.
The Dodgers, currently 97-62, secured their first-round bye earlier in the day. Padres' pitcher Ethan Salas broke Glasnow's no-hitter in the sixth, eventually scoring on a sacrifice fly. Glasnow maintained sharp pitching numbers throughout, striking out 11 batters while allowing only three runs. Mookie Betts contributed with a 4-for-4 performance, while Shohei Ohtani added two hits, including an RBI double.
Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz also pitched well, allowing no hits in a scoreless ninth inning. Despite the loss, the Dodgers' record against winning teams in the second half appears promising. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the team's focus on preparing for the postseason, stating that the regular season's standings are less significant at this stage.
