The Los Angeles Dodgers are giving their rivals San Francisco Giants a run for their money as they have a 2-0 lead in their four-game series. The Dodger squad has several pitchers on the IL, but they still seem to be doing a fantastic job against the Giants.
Landon Knack picked up his second victory, recording six strikeouts against the Giants. LA's offense went deep with five runs, restricting their opponent to only two. Tyler Glasnow will return after being placed on the IL due to back tightness. With their ace back on the mound, the Boys in Blue are excited for Game 3.
Glasnow has a 3.47 ERA with an 8-5 record. Apart from him, veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw is slated to return this week.
The Giants struggled as they failed to prevent their opponent from getting hits. Jordan Hicks struck out seven but was unable to last to the end. San Francisco will have their top pitcher, Robbie Ray, pitch for the first time in 2024.
Ray underwent Tommy John surgery, and the southpaw will go up against a strong offensive team. However, Ray is expected to be limited to only four or five innings, as the Giants would not want to risk re-injuring their top pitcher after his surgery.
