Tyler Glasnow recorded his first career save as the Los Angeles Dodgers held on for a 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 6 of the World Series.
The right-hander inherited a difficult situation in the ninth inning as he entered with runners on second and third and no outs.
Glasnow needed just one pitch to get Ernie Clement to pop out before Andrés Giménez lined into a game-ending double play thanks to Kiké Hernández’s running catch in left field and Miguel Rojas’ scoop at second base.
According to OptaSTATS, Glasnow became the first pitcher in MLB history to enter a game with no outs or the possibility of a force play and still complete the save by facing just two batters.
Since saves became official in 1969, Tyler Glasnow is the only MLB pitcher to enter any game (reg or post) with:
runners on 2nd & 3rd
nobody out
tying run on base
no force play in effect (i.e., nobody on 1st)…and yet complete the save by facing just 2 batters. pic.twitter.com/svBjlKLyS4

The appearance was Glasnow’s first since Game 3 of the World Series, when he started against the Blue Jays and allowed four runs (two earned) over 4.2 innings of work.
Glasnow also pitched out of the bullpen in the winner-take-all Game 7 and contributed 2.1 innings while allowing a run. His effort helped the Dodgers complete a comeback win to become back-to-back World Series champions.
