Tyler Glasnow was brilliant over seven no-hit innings, striking out 11. Reliever Blake Treinen pitched a perfect eighth before Ryan Ritter broke up the no-hitter by lining Tanner Scott 's third pitch to left field for a double. The ball appeared catchable off the bat, but left fielder Alex Call turned the wrong way, costing him any chance to make a play.

After having his start pushed back due to some back issues, Tyler Glasnow started the game strong by striking out the side in the 1st. The 2nd didn't go as smoothly, as he issued a lead-off walk, which led to a stolen base. A flyball advanced the runner, and a sac fly from Kyle Farmer followed to put the Rockies up 1-0 before Glasnow got his fourth strikeout to end the inning.

Tyler Glasnow was initially supposed to start for the Dodgers in tonight's series opener in Baltimore. Los Angeles instead pushed Shohei Ohtani up from his scheduled start on Monday. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that came about after Glasnow reported back stiffness this afternoon (link via Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register). Roberts framed it as a precautionary measure and suggested they're hopeful the righty can take the ball in a few days.

Despite appearing to have blood coming from his right hand, Glasnow retired the first 10 batters faced before hitting Ketel Marte with a pitch to give the Diamondbacks their first baserunner of the game with one out in the fourth inning. Glasnow then retired six more batters in a row before Ildemaro Vargas beat the shift with an infield single.

Tyler Glasnow spent the majority of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract.

Glasnow has been plagued by mental struggles and physical injuries since being acquired, performing inconsistently and grappling with his mechanics while trying to improve his execution.

The Alexis Diaz era in Los Angeles didn't last very long.
