Designated hitter Matt Davidson homered, and shortstop Corey Seager added an RBI single, propelling the Los Angeles Dodgers to a narrow 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the 2021 Cactus League opener for both teams.
Boy, was it ever good to have baseball back, even if it was only for seven innings.
In the top of the third frame, second baseman Zach McKinstry singled on a liner to center with nobody out and later advanced to second on a DJ Peters walk. McKinstry wound up at third after a Mookie Betts flyout to right and ultimately scored when Seager roped a single to center, giving the Dodgers the early 1-0 lead.
