The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken precautions with their ace this season pitching him on mostly on five days’ rest and sometimes more. He has pitched on regular rest once this season.
Tyler Glasnow started Saturday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels and was dominant. He struck out 10 in seven innings and only needed 74 pitches. He improved to 8-5 and lowered his ERA to 2.88. The Dodgers won 7-2.
More importantly, he has pitched 100 this innings which is something he has only accomplished twice before. His career-high is 120 for a season and he reached that mark last season with Tampa Bay.
