Tyler Glasnow endured the worst start of his Los Angeles Dodgers career, but the bullpen and offense picked him up in a thrilling 14-7 win over the San Francisco Giants in 11 innings.
Glasnow pitched just three innings and exited with the Dodgers trailing 5-2. Up to that point he had received run support on an RBI single from Miguel Rojas in the second inning, and Shohei Ohtani’s solo home run in the third.
Rojas then helped spark a four-run fourth inning that saw Gavin Lux, Will Smith and Freddie Freeman each drive in a run as well to put the Dodgers back ahead.
That wound up being short-lived as Alex Vesia gave up a game-tying RBI base hit in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Start of a new streak?

The game remained knotted until Rojas gave the Dodgers a 7-6 lead with an RBI single in the 10th inning. The Giants responded in the bottom half, but Daniel Hudson stranded the bases loaded to keep the Dodgers’ hopes of avoiding a series loss alive.
Will Smith said, "I am speed."

The Giants had a 4-run third inning, so the #Dodgers answered with a 4-run fourth inning.

That paid off in spades as the Dodgers offense erupted for seven runs in the 11th inning. Smith made the Giants pay for intentionally walking Ohtani to begin the inning by following that with a two-run double.
Freeman added an RBI double and Chris Taylor later contributed with a run-scoring base hit. Jason Heyward further broke the game open with a two-run triple and Rojas’ sacrifice fly capped off his four-RBI day.
Dodgers break record
The seven runs scored by the Dodgers in the 11th set a Los Angeles franchise record for most in an extra inning. It’s bested only by the 1954 Brooklyn team that scored eight runs in the 11th inning for a 12-4 win on Aug. 29, 1954.
