Tyler Glasnow carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and a shutout into the seventh but took the loss as the Dodgers fell 6-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Glasnow retired the first 10 batters on 39 pitches and struck out four before hitting Ketel Marte with a 1-1 pitch in the fourth. Ildemaro Vargas hit a three-run homer off Dodgers reliever Kirby Yates in the ninth that put the game out of reach. Eduardo Rodriguez matched Glasnow with stingy early innings. Glasnow owns a 2.45 ERA but remains winless with three no-decisions, and the Dodgers' NL West lead dropped to one game.
The Dodgers have won 71 games since Tyler Glasnow earned his last victory. That was March 31, 152 days ago. The season was six games old then. No other pitcher with at least 13 major league starts has gone longer without a win this season. Yet Glasnow was never deserving of a better fate than he was Saturday, when he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and a shutout into the seventh,
It's not as if Glasnow has pitched poorly. In one start he didn't allow a run and in four others he gave up just one. He didn't get the win in any of those games. In four of his first 13 starts, the Dodgers (77-59) didn't score a run behind him. So while his 2.45 earned-run average and six earned runs allowed in four July appearances led the team's starters, all he had was a loss and three no decisions to show for it.
