The Los Angeles Dodgers opened Cactus League play with a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics at HohoKam Stadium. The game was shortened to seven innings due to consideration of both pitching staffs.
The Dodgers lineup featured several everyday players, namely Mookie Betts and Corey Seager at the top. It’s what manager Dave Roberts anticipates holding true during the regular season, with the duo to be followed by Justin Turner.
Betts was hitless in xx at-bats, but Corey Seager’s RBI single with two outs in the third inning broke up a scoreless tie. The table had been set by Zach McKinstry leading off with a base hit and DJ Peters working a walk.
