MIAMI\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The way right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow<\/a> has pitched this year when healthy made him an obvious choice for the Dodgers<\/a>\u2019 postseason rotation. But during the Dodgers\u2019 4-3 loss<\/a> to the Marlins on Saturday, with the team on the cusp of clinching a playoff berth, he didn\u2019t look like that version of himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think it was bad timing and trying to get on time,\u201d Glasnow said. \u201cIt was just hard to find today. Just every pitch was kind of off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dodgers could have claimed a spot Saturday with a win and losses by the Diamondbacks and Padres. The Dodgers\u2019 loss ended an eight-game winning streak. <\/p>\n

The Dodgers (90-58) got off to a good start Saturday, as shortstop Mookie Betts and third baseman Max Muncy hit back-to-back solo home runs in the first inning. But Glasnow quickly gave up that lead.<\/p>\n

He showed signs of command problems in the first inning. With two outs, Glasnow hung a curveball to Griffin Conine, who drove it to center field. Dodgers center fielder Tommy Edman tracked it back to the warning track, but a step or two in front of the wall, he failed to secure it, and Conine trotted to second base.<\/p>\n

Glasnow hit the next batter, Otto Lopez, on the hand and then walked Jakob Marsee to load the bases. But he escaped the jam by getting Javier Sanoja to line out to left field.<\/p>\n

The next inning, Glasnow wasn\u2019t so fortunate.<\/p>\n

Glasnow issued a leadoff walk before Graham Pauley hit a fastball for a two-run homer. The Marlins (73-76) tacked on another run after three straight singles.<\/p>\n

Glasnow settled in for the third and fourth innings, retiring six straight. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was just trying to move a little quicker and get my glove a little higher,\u201d Glasnow said. \u201cI was just ripping off everything. I kind of put a Band-Aid on it. Felt pretty good then it started to feel a little weird again.\u201d<\/p>\n

His pitch count was already high. So when he walked the first two batters of the fifth, manager Dave Roberts pulled him. Glasnow threw 91 pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just couldn\u2019t get his rhythm,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cYou could see he was fighting himself all game, and I know he didn\u2019t feel great coming into the game as far as kind of overall body, but I don\u2019t know what specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glasnow said his back, which sidelined him for three and a half months earlier this season, \u201cfeels good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust figuring things out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reliever Jack Dreyer hit the first batter he faced. Another run scored when a high toss by Betts to Alex Freeland pulled the second baseman off the bag. But Dreyer eventually got out of the inning with a double play started by Betts.<\/p>\n

Though the bullpen held the Marlins scoreless the rest of the way, the Dodgers\u2019 offense fell quiet until the ninth, when rookie Josue De Paula drew a walk, advanced to second on defensive indifference, and then scored on a single by Hunter Feduccia. Will Smith lined out to third to end the game.<\/p>\n

Over the past week, the Dodgers have taken advantage of a soft September schedule as they compete for playoff seeding.<\/p>\n

Although Shohei Ohtani is on the injured list and Freddie Freeman is managing a sore right knee, the rest of the Dodgers\u2019 lineup, aside from Saturday\u2019s low-scoring effort, seems to be clicking at the right time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s baseball,\u201d Muncy said. \u201cYou go through stretches that are good, you go through stretches that are bad. And this has been a good last week or so offensively for us, and it\u2019s been a good last week overall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez went on a tear during the last homestand. Right fielder Kyle Tucker fixed his bat path and was rewarded with a three-hit, five-RBI performance Friday that included a grand slam. Now add in Betts and Muncy\u2019s home runs.<\/p>\n

But they still have work to do to clinch a playoff berth.<\/p>\n

\"\" Freeman returns to lineup<\/p>\n

Dodgers first baseman Freeman returned to the lineup Saturday after two games off to rest his sore right knee.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in a much better spot today,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of those things where we\u2019ve got to manage it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, Roberts plans to pick spots in the coming weeks to give him days off.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to make sure he\u2019s at optimal health when we finish the season,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cSo I think that he might not love it, but giving him a day off here or there might be beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freeman went hitless in four at-bats, with three groundouts and a lineout to second.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t seem like he was laboring like he was at home, which is a good thing,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cNow you\u2019re talking about, how does the swing feel? I don\u2019t think it feels great right now. So it was good to get him back in there, but I know he\u2019s disappointed he couldn\u2019t throw out a couple knocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rotation schedule<\/p>\n

The Dodgers are set to start right-hander Emmett Sheehan on Sunday.<\/p>\n

That means Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell are lined up to start the first three games of the Cincinnati series, which starts Monday. There\u2019s an opportunity for right-hander Roki Sasaki (right middle finger blister) to return from the IL to start Thursday in Cincinnati, but the Dodgers are still monitoring his progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The way right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow has pitched this year when healthy made him an obvious choice for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[52631,426,10254,423,170512,48,52,51,182120,47,50,49,3289,124787,3835,55784,431,424,595,182121,8652],"class_list":["post-462111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-command","tag-dodgers","tag-first-inning","tag-game","tag-griffin-conine","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-leadoff-walk","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-loss","tag-marlins","tag-mookie-betts","tag-playoff-berth","tag-rest","tag-roberts","tag-saturday","tag-straight-single","tag-tyler-glasnow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
