Notable

In his first start of the Cactus League, young right-hander Erik Swanson made to costly mistakes — a pair of misplaced sliders to the hitter — and they both resulted in solo homers.

Kiké Hernandez smashed solo homers in the first and third innings off of Swanson to provide all the offense needed for the Dodgers.

Swanson pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowing just the two homers while striking out four batters.
