LOS ANGELES — Tyler Glasnow tossed five shutout innings in his season debut, Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the winless Atlanta Braves 6-1 on Monday night.
The defending champions are 6-0 for the first time since 1981, when they won the World Series.
Atlanta fell to 0-5 for the first time since starting 0-9 in 2016.
Glasnow’s Dominant Performance
Glasnow (1-0) gave up singles to Jarred Kelenic and Michael Harris II in the fifth — and that was it. The right-hander struck out eight and walked three in a series opener between perennial National League pennant contenders.
