Tue Apr 01 09:20:00 UTC 2025: **Dodgers Start Season 6-0 Behind Glasnow’s Dominant Debut**

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Glasnow pitched five scoreless innings in his season debut, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves and a stunning 6-0 start to the season. This marks only the third time in MLB history that a defending World Series champion has started a season with at least six consecutive wins, joining the 1985 Detroit Tigers and the 1933 New York Yankees. It also ties the best start for a Dodgers team since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

Glasnow, who missed significant time last season due to injury, showcased impressive command, striking out eight Braves batters and allowing only two singles before being relieved. Braves center fielder Michael Harris II described Glasnow’s velocity as feeling “like 103 [mph]” despite being clocked in the high 90s. Glasnow attributed his strong performance to offseason adjustments to his delivery and training program, specifically abandoning weighted balls to reduce injury risk.

Manager Dave Roberts praised Glasnow’s aggressiveness and the effectiveness of his breaking ball. The team’s strong start reflects a collective hunger to repeat last year’s World Series victory, according to Glasnow. With Dustin May’s return also bolstering the rotation, the Dodgers appear poised for another successful season, with Glasnow playing a crucial role in their continued success.
