Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow Delivers Strong Start in Home Loss to Cardinals

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium on August 4, 2025, in a tightly contested game that ended 3-2 in favor of the Cardinals. Tyler Glasnow, recently returning from a shoulder injury, pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run with seven strikeouts, earning praise from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who emphasized Glasnow's importance to their World Series aspirations despite the bullpen's late struggles. The Dodgers' bullpen faltered in the eighth and ninth innings, allowing the Cardinals to score the decisive runs, including a key two-out single by Yohel Pozo. On the Cardinals' side, Sonny Gray also delivered a strong performance on the mound, limiting Dodgers' hits and runs effectively. The Dodgers have been adjusting their lineup and roster, including moving Shohei Ohtani back to leadoff and awaiting Max Muncy's return from injury, as they continue to seek offensive consistency. Overall, the game highlighted Glasnow's progress post-injury and the bullpen's challenges, with the Cardinals capitalizing to secure the win.
