Los Angeles Dodgers at Detroit Tigers

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, the Dodgers brought a downpour of runs upon Comerica Park -- relative to how they had been swinging the bats lately. After Teoscar Hernández put L.A. on top with a go-ahead two-run blast in the sixth inning, his team continued to add on in the late innings as the Dodgers beat the Tigers, 6-1. Tyler Glasnow tossed seven innings of one-run ball to help L.A. take two out of three games in Detroit after being swept in three games in Atlanta. The Dodgers' six runs were their most in their past nine games, since they also scored six runs on Aug. 19 in Colorado. Half of the runs they scored on Sunday had more to do with wildness from Tigers reliever Tanner Rainey than just getting timely hits, but it was nevertheless a performance to build on for a scuffling L.A. offense. "It was good to see Teo break out today. I know he’s been wanting it," manager Dave Roberts said. "Just the at-bats, the walks, controlling the strike zone, throwing out some hits, building some innings -- it was really good to see." One day after he made the 27th out for the Dodgers on a ball that was caught at the warning track, Hernández shifted the momentum of the series finale by taking Framber Valdez deep for a no-doubter that traveled a Statcast-projected 434 feet at 106.5 mph off the bat.  "It was a big relief," Hernández said. "Every time you hit the ball like that, especially when you're not having good moments in a while, it feels really nice." Hernández's first homer since Aug. 3 put L.A. up 3-1, a lead that felt safe with the way Glasnow was throwing the ball. Glasnow was starting on regular rest -- a rarity for Dodgers starters -- and making his second start since coming off the injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander struck out six and allowed a run on two hits and a walk across seven strong innings on 85 pitches. He attributed the success he had to his ability to be effective in the strike zone.
