Once again, I didn’t have high hopes going into this game, with Eduardo Rodriguez taking the mound and facing off against Tyler Glasnow. Aside from the month of June, when he pitched to a 1.98 ERA in five starts, ERod has been abjectly terrible for us. In his five September starts coming into tonight, he’d allowed 17 earned runs in 26.1 innings pitched. In case you’re a bit weak on your math, that’s, well….it’s bad. Very bad. Glasnow, meanwhile, has been injured for a lot of the year, because that’s what Tyler Glasnow does—he pitched at least the first few innings tonight with blood dripping off his throwing hand—but when he’s not been doing that, he’s been enjoying a 3.36 ERA in 13 starts, until tonight.

So imagine my surprise when a full-on pitching duel broke out.
