The scuffling Los Angeles Dodgers came oh-so-close to throwing a no-hitter for the second time in three games.
Tyler Glasnow and Blake Treinen did not give up a hit to the Colorado Rockies through eight innings Monday night.
Their bid for major league baseball’s first no-hitter of the season was broken up on Ryan Ritter‘s double to left field against Tanner Scott leading off the ninth. The Dodgers rallied for a 3-1 victory that kept them one game ahead of San Diego in the NL West race.
“It would’ve been nice,” Glasnow said of the potential no-hitter, “but it doesn’t matter.”
Glasnow struck out 11 and walked two on 105 pitches — one off his season high — 65 for strikes over seven innings in his first career start against Colorado.
“He was fantastic all night,” manager Dave Roberts said.
Treinen replaced Glasnow to start the eighth and retired the side in order.
Glasnow (2-3) earned his first victory since March 31 against Atlanta. The right-hander has had 10 no-decisions in his 15 starts.
