Los Angeles Dodgers Defeat San Diego Padres 5-2 in Season Opener
Los Angeles Dodgers defeated San Diego Padres 5-2 in a thrilling season opener played in South Korea at the Gocheok Sky Dome. The game remained scoreless until the eighth inning when the Dodgers rallied to score four runs.
Shohei Ohtani, who recently signed with the Dodgers for over $600 million, had a successful debut batting 2-for-5 with an RBI. The stadium played a factor in the game with an interesting play where a ground ball by Gavin Lux went through the first baseman’s glove for the Dodgers and a home run by Mookie Betts that died in the outfield.
