Glasnow strikes out 10 of the first 15 batters and allows just three hits in seven scoreless innings while the Dodgers get three-run homers from James Outman and Will Smith in a 6-3 win.
Before the game on Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts talked about some of the uneven spots in Tyler Glasnow’s first three starts this season.
“He’s obviously a really talented pitcher, really competing well,” Roberts said in the visitors’ dugout at Target Field. “I think that what we haven’t seen is, from start to finish, that he’s been synced up with his delivery.
“He’s a big guy (6-foot-8). There’s a lot of things going everywhere. So to kind of keep that under control is not easy, certainly. So I’m looking forward to, from pitch one to pitch 101, to have it synced up and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
The Minnesota Twins had that syncing feeling Tuesday.
Glasnow overwhelmed a young Twins lineup, allowing just three hits while striking out 14 in seven scoreless innings as the Dodgers won, 6-3.
Glasnow struck out 10 of the first 15 batters he faced including six in a row at one point.
