Dodgers’ Mistakes Cost Tyler Glasnow in 6-1 Loss to Diamondbacks

In a game marked by errors and missed opportunities, the Los Angeles Dodgers fell 6-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks, leaving Tyler Glasnow still searching for his first win since March. Despite a strong performance, Glasnow’s efforts were overshadowed by his team’s mistakes.

Glasnow’s Strong Start

Glasnow took the mound with determination, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning and a shutout into the seventh. He struck out six batters and allowed just two hits over seven innings, yet walked away with a loss as the Dodgers failed to support him offensively.

Frustration Mounts

“I know our team will come back and play better,” Glasnow expressed after the game. “But it’s frustrating right now.” His record stands at 1-3 despite a commendable 2.45 ERA, highlighting the struggles of the Dodgers’ offense when he pitches.

Offensive Struggles

The Dodgers (77-59) managed only one run against Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez, who had a 5.67 ERA before the game. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the team’s lack of production, stating, “If you’re not scoring runs, it certainly decreases your margin.”

Critical Errors

Saturday’s game was marred by mistakes, including two runners thrown out on the bases and two fielding errors. One pivotal moment occurred when Kiké Hernández failed to slide on a potential sacrifice fly, resulting in a double play that frustrated the Dodgers’ chances.

Late Game Collapse

After losing his no-hitter to an infield single in the sixth, Glasnow’s shutout ended with a home run from Corbin Carroll in the seventh. The Diamondbacks capitalized on defensive lapses, scoring three runs in the ninth to seal the victory.

Looking Ahead

With the Padres winning, the Dodgers’ lead in the National League West shrinks to one game. As they prepare for a six-game road trip, including matchups against the Pirates and Orioles, the team must address their recent struggles on both offense and defense.

Roberts remains optimistic, stating, “We’ve got to play better. We do.” With an off day approaching, the Dodgers will regroup and aim to bounce back in their upcoming series.
