The Los Angeles Dodgers maintained their undefeated start to the season with a convincing 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Tyler Glasnow shined on the mound, pitching five shutout innings. Meanwhile, Atlanta struggled, beginning the season with five losses, reminiscent of their 2016 start. The Braves hope to turn the tide tonight as their Cy Young winner makes a comeback against a pitcher who hasn't played in almost two years due to injuries. Despite the ups and downs of their pitching staff, there is optimism based on past performances of emerging star Dustin May.
The Dodgers continued their undefeated season with a 6-1 win last night over Atlanta. Tyler Glasnow tossed five shutout innings, and other than health concern for Freddie Freeman and another run allowed by Tanner Scott, things seems to be going pretty well in LA.
Atlanta, on the other hand, is 0-5 for the first time since 2016 when they started the season with nine straight losses. They do not have Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider returning this season, which should lead to a better outcome.
May is making his return to the hill after nearly two years of injuries, with a surgery on his flexor tendon keeping him sidelined for roughly a year. He was initially slated for a rehab assignment but suffered a torn esophagus that nearly cost him his life.
In the limited time he has pitched in the majors, May has shown promise despite injury struggles, with a strong 2.57 ERA in his only full season and a positive 2.63 ERA to start 2023.
