Tyler Glasnow dominates as Dodgers blank Giants

Tyler Glasnow allowed just one hit in eight shutout innings, Tanner Scott threw a scoreless ninth and the Los Angeles Dodgers avoided a three-game series sweep with a 3-0 victory over the host San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon.

Max Muncy scored twice, while Dalton Rushing and Hyeseong Kim drove in runs for the Dodgers, who completed a 3-4 trip to Colorado and San Francisco.

Glasnow (3-0) improved his record to 4-0 with a 2.43 ERA in five career starts in San Francisco in dominant fashion, striking out nine before handing the ball to Scott after throwing 105 pitches.

The Giants' only hit off the right-hander was delivered by Luis Arraez leading off the fourth inning. He was immediately erased when Glasnow got Matt Chapman to ground into a double play.

San Francisco's only other baserunner in the game came in the first inning when Arraez walked. He stole second with one out, but was stranded there when Chapman and Rafael Devers struck out.

The Dodgers opened the scoring off Giants starter Logan Webb (2-3) in the second when Muncy walked, took second on an infield out and raced home on Rushing's two-out single to center.

Los Angeles made it 3-0 in the fourth when Kyle Tucker doubled and scored on a throwing error by Giants center fielder Drew Gilbert after fielding a double by Muncy. Two outs later, Kim singled home Muncy.

Glasnow walked just one in his eight innings.

Scott needed just 13 pitches to record a 1-2-3 ninth and pick up his first save. Between the two pitchers, they faced just 28 batters - one over the minimum.

Tucker and Kim had two hits apiece for the Dodgers, who went the entire series in San Francisco without a home run. In fact, the visitors had only one extra-base hit -- a double -- in series-opening 3-1 and 3-0 losses before the back-to-back two-baggers by Tucker and Muncy.

Webb worked seven innings, allowing three runs and seven hits. He walked two and struck out five.
