Dodgers Avoid Sweep: Glasnow, Scott Combine for 1-Hitter

The Dodgers’ 3-0 win over the San Francisco Giants came down to a classic pitching duel. Tyler Glasnow and Tanner Scott teamed up to hold the Giants to just one hit, stopping Los Angeles from getting swept in the series.

Glasnow was absolutely locked in, throwing 105 pitches over eight innings. He gave up just one hit and one walk, striking out nine along the way.

He finished strong, retiring the last 14 Giants he saw. Out of his 105 pitches, 69 landed for strikes.

At 32, Glasnow looked like a guy who’s been here plenty of times before. When it was time for the ninth, Tanner Scott came in and handled the last three outs, grabbing his first save of the season.

That made it two shutouts already this year for Los Angeles.

The Dodgers’ offense chipped in with just enough at the right moments. Kyle Tucker and Hyeseong Kim each picked up two hits.

Kim and Dalton Rushing were the ones who got the runs across. Rushing put the Dodgers on the board first with an RBI single in the second, taking advantage of Giants starter Logan Webb.

The lead grew in the fourth. Max Muncy doubled, then scored when Giants center fielder Drew Gilbert threw wildly.

Key moments and numbers that defined the game

  • Rushing drove in the game’s first run with an RBI single in the second inning.
  • Kim and Tucker each collected two hits to pace the Dodgers’ attack.
  • Muncy doubled in the fourth and scored from third on a defensive miscue by Gilbert, padding the lead.
  • Logan Webb was solid for much of the night, going seven innings while allowing three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
  • Giants’ lone hit came from Luis Arraez in the first inning; beyond that, the Dodgers pitching staff kept their opponent off the bases, with no other runners advancing past first base.

From where the Dodgers stood, Glasnow’s tempo and velocity just clicked. The defense played clean, and the offense made those scoring chances count.

Things went pretty quiet late. By the time Scott took over in the ninth, the Giants were already out of it.

What this win means for the Dodgers and what’s next

For Los Angeles, the win snapped a rough skid. It reinforced the Dodgers’ ability to win with dominant pitching as their anchor.

Glasnow added another chapter to his season—he just keeps showing efficiency and depth. Scott’s save let everyone breathe after eight strong frames.

The night also showed off the Dodgers’ balance. Tucker and Kim brought power to the lineup, and Rushing stepped up when chances popped up.

Looking ahead, the Giants will shift focus to their next matchups. These games could shape the rest of their schedule.

In the upcoming slate, Giants RHP Adrian Houser will take the mound against the Marlins. Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara is set to oppose them, and honestly, that pairing might test both rotations more than folks expect.
