Dustin May pitched 5 shutout innings (the only run was unearned) for a fantastic return after 685 days without pitching in a regular season game! He looked brilliant.
The only run was due to a Mookie Betts error, but Mookie atoned for it in a HUGE way with a 2 run homer in the 6th of Cy Young winner Chris Sale.
The Dodgers win 3-1 and set 2 early season records with their 7-0 record:
This is the best Dodgers start in L.A. team history. The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers went 10-0 in the first year that they ever won a World Series.
The Dodgers also match a record of most wins to start a season after winning a world series. Their record ties the only other team to start 7-0 after winning it all: The 1933 Yankees.
Big Blue is off to a Big Start!
