“Ohtani’s Sunday Night Showdown: Will He Rewrite the Record Books Against Rivals?”

The Dodgers finally suffered their first home loss of the season last night. I suppose it was inevitable, but it was an ugly loss. Sometimes it is easier to lose that way and just come back to the ballpark the next day to shake it off. Losing heartbreakers or in extra innings has to be tougher than getting blown out. Honestly, the most insane part to me about the Dodgers losing wasn’t the amount of runs they gave up, or even that they lost. It was that they didn’t score a run. The Dodgers are too good of an offense to have a prolonged slump at the dish. Tonight, eyes will focus on the pitcher’s mound more than hitters, though. Tyler Glasnow is taking the mound. The normally superb starter has struggled a bit out of the gate. Game one was great for him against the Braves – five innings, two hits, three walks, eight strikeouts. His second start was much less impressive, just two innings against the Phillies, two hits, five earned runs and five walks. Some games you just don’t have it. Justin Turner has been particularly bad against Glasnow with no hits in 14 at-bats and 10 strikeouts against him. The rest of the Cubs are just 3-for-11 against him.
