After a 4-3 road trip, the Dodgers finally returned home to celebrate their home opener and take on the offseason champion Arizona Diamondbacks.
For starters, the ceremonies were awesome. There were tributes to Vin Scully, a very cool Kendrick Lamar hype video, and Dodger Dogs. Basically, unless the Dodgers would go on to lose the game in frustrating fashion, it would be a great day.
The Dodgers went on to lose the game in frustrating fashion. Kenta Maeda was a bit wild and his pitch count got tested, but he shut the Diamondbacks out through six innings and held Dodger slayer Paul Goldschmidt to an 0-3 day against Maeda.
