They have to go one game at a time, though, and that starts Monday night, with right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow taking the mound for LA against Blue Jays right-hander (and former Dodger) Max Scherzer. Glasnow has made three appearances (two starts) this postseason, allowing just one run across 13.1 innings for a 0.68 ERA.

The Dodgers took back home field advantage on Saturday, winning Game 2 thanks to some late offense and a Yoshinobu Yamamoto masterclass. Yama tossed his second consecutive complete game and retired the final 20 batters he faced, holding the high-powered Toronto offense to a run and four hits for a 5-1 Dodger win.

Tyler Glasnow was brilliant over seven no-hit innings, striking out 11. Reliever Blake Treinen pitched a perfect eighth before Ryan Ritter broke up the no-hitter by lining Tanner Scott 's third pitch to left field for a double. The ball appeared catchable off the bat, but left fielder Alex Call turned the wrong way, costing him any chance to make a play.

After having his start pushed back due to some back issues, Tyler Glasnow started the game strong by striking out the side in the 1st. The 2nd didn't go as smoothly, as he issued a lead-off walk, which led to a stolen base. A flyball advanced the runner, and a sac fly from Kyle Farmer followed to put the Rockies up 1-0 before Glasnow got his fourth strikeout to end the inning.

Despite appearing to have blood coming from his right hand, Glasnow retired the first 10 batters faced before hitting Ketel Marte with a pitch to give the Diamondbacks their first baserunner of the game with one out in the fourth inning. Glasnow then retired six more batters in a row before Ildemaro Vargas beat the shift with an infield single.

Tyler Glasnow spent the majority of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract.

Glasnow has been plagued by mental struggles and physical injuries since being acquired, performing inconsistently and grappling with his mechanics while trying to improve his execution.

The Alexis Diaz era in Los Angeles didn't last very long.
