What an amazing Opening Weekend. Not only did the Dodgers start things off right by winning the first series of the year, but they did it by eclipsing several records.
- On Thursday they walloped eight homers to set a Major League record for homers on Opening Day.
- On Friday they played the longest regular season game at Dodger Stadium in franchise history -- at six hours and five minutes.
- They shattered a LA record for most runs scored for a four-game series -- at 42 runs.
- When Russell Martin pitched on Sunday he became the first full-time position player to record a 1-2-3 ninth inning for a team win since 1963 -- by Willie Smith of the Tigers.
