According to OptaSTATS, Glasnow is the only MLB pitcher to strike out 14-plus batters in a game while throwing fewer than 90 pitches since pitches were first tracked in 1988. He also tied his career high with 14 strikeouts while throwing seven shutout innings.
Glasnow mixed his pitches well, utilizing his fastball 51 percent of the time, followed by his slider at 32 percent and his curveball at 17 percent. He received 21 whiffs from Twins batters, tied for the third-most this season and eighth-most in his career.
"We've seen Tyler over the years from the other side and this is one of those things from Pitch 1 ... he had complete control of the game. He was throwing his fastball to all quadrants, and tonight for me I just thought the breaking ball was a game-changer." - Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
