Game Preview

Tyler Glasnow Sets Career Mark for Starts in Bid to Sweep Reeling Pirates

Tyler Glasnow, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ right-hander, will make his 22nd start of the season on Sunday, a new career high, as he faces the Pittsburgh Pirates. This matchup will be Glasnow’s second appearance this year against the team that originally drafted him in 2011.

In their previous encounter on June 4, Glasnow pitched six innings of one-run ball but took a loss in a 1-0 game. Despite a history of injuries limiting his starts in past seasons, Glasnow has been a workhorse for the Dodgers in 2023, surpassing his previous career best of 21 starts set with the Tampa Bay Rays.

His most recent outing was a solid performance against the Philadelphia Phillies, where he allowed three runs over six innings in a 5-3 victory. Glasnow’s season has seen him set a personal record for innings pitched, reaching 127, despite missing the All-Star Game due to lower back issues.

The Dodgers are aiming for a sweep after securing a 4-1 win on Saturday against the Pirates, thanks to Gavin Lux’s three RBIs and Teoscar Hernandez’s 26th home run of the year. The Pirates, meanwhile, are struggling, having lost six straight games and only scoring a late run on a Ke’Bryan Hayes homer.

In the Pirates’ bullpen, there was a glimmer of hope with Domingo German and Ben Heller providing some much-needed relief in recent games. Starting for Pittsburgh on Sunday is left-hander Bailey Falter, who has struggled with injuries and has only recently returned from the IL. Falter, who has a 3.87 ERA, will make his first career start at Dodger Stadium.
