He didn’t get the win in any of these video games.
In 4 of his first 13 begins, the Dodgers (77-59) didn’t rating a run behind him. So whereas his 2.45 earned-run common and 6 earned runs given up in 4 July appearances led the crew’s starters, all he had was a loss and three no selections to point out for it.

Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez (6-8) was almost as stingy, nonetheless, giving up simply two hits by means of 4 innings, though he did stroll two.
Rodriguez, who began the night time with a 5.67 ERA, is the fourth starter with an ERA over 5.00 the Dodgers have confronted of their previous eight video games. They’ve misplaced all 4 video games, scoring one run in 24 innings mixed in opposition to the 4 pitchers.
The Dodgers almost received to Rodriguez within the fifth inning when Kiké Hernández led off with a tough grounder that received by third baseman Blaze Alexander for a single. Miguel Rojas then despatched him to 3rd with a double and Shohei Ohtani adopted with what ought to have been a sacrifice fly to left.
The throw from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was off line however when Hernández didn’t slide, catcher Gabriel Moreno was capable of retrieve the ball and tag the runner to finish the double play. After an extended evaluation, the decision by plate umpire Dan Bellino was affirmed and one pitch later, Mookie Betts lined to Alexander at third to finish the inning.
The Dodgers threatened once more within the sixth when Will Smith and Freddie Freeman walked on full-count pitches. However a strikeout and Andy Pages’ double-play grounder again to the mound ended the menace.
Glasnow, in the meantime, misplaced his no-hitter on an infield single within the sixth and his shutout on a house run within the seventh.
The primary hit went to Ildemaro Vargas, the No. 9 hitter, who tapped a one-out grounder up the third-base line that Hernández, taking part in properly off the road, ranged to his left to discipline. However his hurried throw had no probability to catch the speedy Vargas.

Corbin Carroll ended the shutout an inning later when he lined the primary pitch into the right-field pavilion. And that’s when Glasnow’s night time spiraled uncontrolled.
Gurriel adopted with a sinking liner to middle that Pages kicked away for a double and when Teoscar Hernández was unable to squeeze Alexander’s lengthy drive on the wall in right-center, which went for one more double, the Diamondbacks (68-69) had runners on second and third with no outs.
Moreno drove Gurriel in on a fly ball to middle and Alexander adopted him house when Pages’ throw from middle skipped away from Kiké Hernández at third to make it 3-0.
Glasnow, baseball’s greatest 1-3 pitcher, didn’t come out for the eighth, having thrown 100 pitches in a season-high seven innings, hanging out six. The Dodgers received him a run — the primary they’ve scored for him in two begins and 11 innings — as a parting reward due to a Betts’ RBI single. However Smith flew out to middle to finish the inning.
The Dodgers had been one for eight with runners in scoring place Saturday, leaving eight runners on base.
Arizona then put the sport away within the ninth, reaching reliever Kirby Yates for 3 runs on a single, a two-out stroll and Vargas’ second homer of the season, a 423-foot bomb to right-center.
And so on.
