The Los Angeles Dodgers had a disappointing end to the 2023 season after losing in the playoffs and made sure that they did everything in their power to come back stronger. As fans have seen over the offseason, the club spent over $1.2 billion to assemble a team that is as stacked as any in the league. Their investment seems to be paying off with some good results into the opening weeks of the season.
After a 4-2 win over the Twins in the opening game of the series, the Dodgers took a comfortable 6-0 lead by the fifth innings in Game 2. James Outman put them on the board with a three-run blast in the fourth and Will Smith followed suit with another three-run homer in the fifth. While the Twins attempted to mount a comeback with three home runs of their own late in the game, it just wasn't enough.
Tyler Glasnow puts in impeccable performance in Dodgers' win over Twins
Despite the three-run homers from both James Outman and Will Smith, it was starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow who made headlines after shutting out the Minnesota Twins lineup over seven innings.
Glasnow was one of the big winter signings and seems to have found his groove as he matched a career-high 14 strikeouts in his outing. It was his third start of the MLB season and by far his best one, taking his record to 3-0 so far with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
