Glasnow begins towards the Padres Yu Darvish on opening day, with Yamamoto going through Joe Musgrove within the second sport. Each video games, which start at 3:05 a.m. PT, shall be televised by SportsNet LA domestically and by ESPN for individuals exterior the market.
That is the second opening day of a profession for Glasnow, who pitched six scoreless innings for the Rays towards the Marlins in 2021, with six strikeouts. Now it begins for the workforce that grew rooted in Santa Clarita.
The Dodgers traded for Glasnow in December, and prolonged him a brand new five-year, $136.6 million contract that runs by 2028.
“It's someplace I've wished to be my complete life. There was a brief checklist of groups I wished to go to, and the Dodgers have been on it,” Glasnow stated in December. “They have been very bullish in making an attempt to get me, and I actually appreciated that they thought a lot of me. I’ve to go house, I’ve all my household right here. I felt like a defeat.”
Glasnow would be the sixth totally different Opening Day hitter for the Dodgers within the final six years, following Julio Urías, Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, Dustin Might and Hyun-jin Ryu.
Glasnow has made three Cactus League begins to this point in comparison with Yamamoto's two, and is barely longer so far. Glasnow pitched 4 innings in a B sport at Camelback Ranch final Wednesday, the identical day Yamamoto threw 58 pitches to go three innings towards the White Sox.
Presumably, Glasnow and Yamamoto will begin the Dodgers' closing two Cactus League video games on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, although that hasn't been explicitly said but.
