Glasnow goes 7 innings to lead Dodgers to 6-1 win over Tigers
Freddie Freeman scored three runs and Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run homer as Los Angeles built a lead behind Glasnow’s one-run outing.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-1 at Comerica Park. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow threw seven innings, allowing two hits and one run while striking out six.
Freddie Freeman doubled in the sixth inning before Teoscar Hernandez hit a 434-foot home run, giving the Dodgers a 3-1 lead they would not relinquish. The blast broke a tied game.
Tigers starter Framber Valdez allowed three runs over six innings. Manager Hinch said Valdez "was just executing and the stuff was better," though Detroit's bullpen gave up three runs in the eighth.
Falling to a 63-73 record, Detroit has now lost 12 of its last 15 games. The Dodgers swept the series despite leaving 21 runners on base in earlier matchups.
The Dodgers return home to start a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Tigers travel to Minnesota for a three-game series with the Twins.
