The Los Angeles Dodgers opened their Cactus League schedule by hitting three home runs in a win against the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Stadium, and now face the Chicago Cubs for their first game of the year at Camelback Ranch.
Sunday’s sold-out matchup is also noteworthy in that Mookie Betts is making his Dodgers debut. He’s starting in right field and penciled into the leadoff spot, which manager Dave Roberts indicated is where Betts will be most of the regular season.
Albeit less heralded, fellow newcomer Luke Raley also plays his first game with the Dodgers.
