Dodgers Week 1: An avalanche of runs

It was an eventful opening weekend for the Dodgers, who started off 2019 by setting a major league record for home runs hit on opening day, then the next night played the longest regular season game by time in Dodger Stadium history, followed by an 18-run outburst on Saturday that was their second-best offensive performance at Chavez Ravine.

Then they took the series against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, overcoming a seven-run inning by Arizona to win 8-7.

The end result was 42 runs scored, a franchise record for a four-game series, three more runs than the previous mark.
