4/09/24 | 'He was better than all of us today': Twins can't solve ace Tyler Glasnow in 6-3 loss to Dodgers.

Whether he was perfectly locating his fastball, effortlessly generating swings and misses with his curveball, or masterfully painting the corners of the strike zone with his slider, Glasnow was undoubtedly the best player on the field when he was on the mound. It was a tough draw given the way the Twins have struggled to swing the bat as of late. Source: https://www.twincities.com/2024/04/09/twins-wake-u... |
