Dodgers fans who watched their team’s exciting 6-4 Spring Training win over the San Francisco Giants at Camelback Ranch on Tuesday afternoon may have very well witnessed the 2024 National League Cy Young Award winner during his final appearance before his regular season debut against the San Diego Padres on March 21 in Seoul, South Korea.

All 30-year-old Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow did in his final start of the Spring was pitch 5.1 innings of no-hit ball, during which he struck out out eight of the 17 Giants batters he faced, while walking only one.

“He was fantastic. I don’t think he gave up a hit through five innings,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told SportsNet LA’s Kirsten Watson postgame of the Newhall, CA native and fifth round draft pick in 2011 by the Pittsburgh Pirates out of Hart High School in Newhall. “Obviously the command was great, slider curve ball mix was really good, they weren’t getting a whole lot of swings off, very efficient, and man, that’s as good as that one gets. He’s had a great Spring.”

Glasnow’s “great Spring” includes three starts and 10.0 innings pitched, during which he has allowed only one earned run and only four hits, while striking out 14 and walking three.

Of course, Glasnow had a little help from his friends in his first official win of the Spring. His battery mate, Dodgers catcher Will Smith, broke a scoreless tie with a two-run home run to left-center field in the bottom of the fifth inning off of Giants right-hander Cody Stashak to give the Dodgers their first two runs.

Dodgers center fielder Teoscar Hernández also homered in the frame, a two run shot to left-center off of Stashak, and international superstar Shohei Ohtani slugged his second home run of the Spring, a two run blast to left-center field, off of Giants right-hander Landen Roupp in the bottom of the sixth to give the Dodgers their fifth and sixth runs.

Well done again, boys!

Play Ball!
