The Los Angeles Dodgers have flirted with history twice in three days. On Saturday night in Baltimore, Yoshinobu Yamamoto came within one out of recording the franchise’s first no-hitter since 2018, only to watch Jackson Holliday spoil the bid with a two-out homer in the ninth. Two days later at Dodger Stadium, Tyler Glasnow matched the drama, carrying a no-no through seven innings against Colorado before the effort unraveled in the ninth.
The loss marked just the ninth time since 1961 that a team carried a no-hitter through 8 2/3 innings and failed to win — and the Dodgers have now been involved in four of those, more than any other franchise.
Despite the rollercoaster, the Dodgers emerged with a 3-1 win over the Rockies. Glasnow, making his first career start against Colorado, was dominant. The right-hander struck out 11 across seven hitless innings, walking two and throwing 105 pitches. Blake Treinen kept the bid intact with a clean eighth, but Tanner Scott yielded a leadoff double to Ryan Ritter in the ninth, ending the suspense.
This time, however, the Dodgers held their composure. Freddie Freeman tied the game with an RBI double in the sixth, and Mookie Betts delivered a two-run single in the seventh, giving L.A. the cushion it needed. Scott rebounded to finish the inning, notching his 21st save of the year
