This season, Glasnow has performed to a 2.57 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, and a 4.5 K/BB across 84 innings. Still, Glasnow got Juan Soto to ground into a 4-6-3 double play, limiting damage and ending the inning. Then with one out, Kyle Schwarber walked before Trea Turner singled to right-center, scoring Castro to tie the game at one apiece. The only damage Glasnow allowed came in the third inning after Starlin Castro singled against the shift to right-center to open the frame. The right-hander reached double digits in punchouts for the seventh time this season and collected 27 swings and misses (35% SwStr%), which tied the most by a Tampa Bay pitcher in the pitch-tracking era.
