Los Angeles Dodgers starting ace Tyler Glasnow has been on a tear to start the season and he turned up a notch higher when he faced the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.
The right-handed hurler struck out 14 hitters in seven scoreless innings, in which he allowed only three hits and no walks. His incredible pitching helped the Dodgers win the game 6-3 and improve their season record to 10-4.
Glasnow tied his career-high single-game strikeout number. He previously fanned 14 hitters while with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Interestingly, Tyler Glasnow only threw 88 pitches for his seven-inning outing, which started with him retiring eight straight before Austin Martin hit a double in right field.
Following this hit, Glasnow again retired eight straight before Martin notched up another double. It seems, apart from Martin, none of the Twins hitters got hold of Glasnow.
Will Smith and James Outman continued their hot bats with three-run home runs in back-to-back innings. Mookie Betts also had a good outing, with two hits and being walked three times.
For Minnesota, Ryan Jeffers, Carlos Correa and Alex Kirilloff each hit a solo home run, but it wasn't enough to keep the NL West team at bay as the Twins dropped to 0-4 at home this season.
The Dodgers aim to clinch a three-game sweep of the Twins on Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. Bobby Miller (1-1, 5.87 ERA) will start the game for the Dodgers, while Chris Paddack (0-0, 4.50 ERA) will take the mound for the Twins. Enrique Hernandez is expected to replace Chris Taylor for tomorrow's lineup in the outfield.
After ending their road trip in Minnesota, the Dodgers will return home on Friday for a three-game series against the San Diego Padres.
