Even Tyler Glasnow didn’t expect to be the Game 6 hero for LA

After he became first pitcher since 2001 to complete back-to-back complete games in the postseason, Yoshinobu Yamamoto managed just six innings on Friday. With the season on the line, Los Angeles Dodgers they asked their bench to preserve a 3-1 lead in a must-win Game 6.

LA’s relievers were pretty rested after the day off after Game 5 World Series transferred back to Canada. So game 3 starter Tyler Glasnow he didn’t believe he would consider the Dodgers’ relief plans. But Dave Roberts in the end, he called on Glasnova to get the team out of a tight situation. And despite that an unexpected tripthe 10th year veteran delivered.

“I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really think I was going to go in there,” Glasnow said after the Game 6 win, according to SportsNet LA . “But I think the game got a little sticky at the end, I thought, OK, there’s a real chance to get in the game.”

Monitoring Yamamoto’s departure after 96 pitchesRoberts turned to Justin Wrobleski in the seventh inning. The second-year lefty pitched his third straight scoreless outing against Toronto on Friday.

Roberts skipped Blake Treinen and went right to newly anointed closer Rocky Sasaki in the eighth inning. The starter-turned-reliever last pitched on Monday and the Dodgers were hoping he could pull off two innings of relief on four days’ rest.

Sasaki escaped the eighth, working around a single and a walk. But he ran into trouble again in the ninth inning. After Alejandro Kirk was hit by a pitch Addison Barger hit a ground-rule double. The Dodgers were fortunate that the ball got stuck under the wall in left-center. A dead ball ruling prevented the run from scoring.

However, with the tying run on second base and no outs, Roberts grounded out to Glaznov to get out of the jam. If he failed, the Dodgers would be eliminated. But the All-Star righty kept LA’s World Series hopes alive. Glasnov induced a pop-up for the first out. He then got Andres Gimenez to ground out to a wild, game ending 7-4 double play.

With just three pitches, Glasnow earned his first career save to help the Dodgers take a decisive Game 7 on Saturday. “It’s pretty wild. I still haven’t really processed it either. Coming out to get a save in the World Series is pretty wild.”
