Yamamoto just gave up the first grand slam of his career, and his ERA jumped from 0.84 to 1.67.

Absolutely thrilled at how Hyeseong Kim performed tonight in his first big league start. 2-4 (his first two career basehits in the bigs), 1 SB, 1 RBI. Solid on defense too, including one potential highlight reel play that Freeman unfortunately dropped.
Reportedly Mookie Betts will have an off day tomorrow, and Kim will start at SS. Here's hoping Kim can continue his hot start!
Dodgers lost the game, but I'm pleased that our Korean homeboy Hyeseong Kim was able to show off his baserunning ability as a pinch-runner in the top 9th. It would've been awesome if it could've led to a tying run, but oh well.
Here's hoping we can see him have some at-bats also during this road trip.
Ok, when did Shohei's walk-up song become the Sailor Moon theme song? I love it.
With the way this game has been going, you'd think the game was being played in the Coors Field.
I want to say that tonight's Dodger win should've come at a much easier pace (too many squandered scoring opportunities), but hey, a win is a win. Just as a 16-0 loss is just a loss.
Welp, so much for getting Sasaki his first W.
Dodgers place Freddie Freeman on 10-day IL for his ailing ankle. He'll be eligible to return on April 10.
Dodgers go on a road trip to PHI and WAS til April 9, and start a 6-game homestand on April 11.
I suspect this IL stint is Dodgers' way of telling Freddie, "No, you're not playing on this road trip no matter how much you beg. Stay home and rest, PLEASE."

Dodgers are down 5-0 in the early going, and if this ends up being Dodgers' first loss of the season, Padres will become the only zero-loss team in the league, and take the #1 spot in the standings.
Gotta tip my hat to Padres' impressively hot start. Everyone, including myself, thought they would go downhill this year, but clearly Padres are proving naysayers wrong.
Dodger defense looking really shaky today. Snell has given up 3 runs already, and none are earned.
IS THE DREAM OF 162-0 GOING TO END TONIGHT?!???
Freeman got the ball, and THAT WILL DO IT!!!!!!
Dodgers win the opening day duel 5-4!

Blake Treinen will close things off for the Dodgers.

And that will do it for the Dodgers for tonight.
Last chance for the Tigers coming up.

Ibáñez flies out to center, and that ends the inning for Tigers.
They get run back, but their hopes are slowly slippng away.

TEOSCAR HERNANDEZ SMACKS THIS ONE OUT, AND DODGERS RETAKE THE LEAD 4-2!!!!!!!!!!
#OpeningDay #DETvsLAD #MLB #Baseball #Sports #LetsGoDodgers #TheShowOnMastodon @mlb
Keith grounds out, and that will do it for the top of 5th.
And probably Snell's night is done also.
#OpeningDay #DETvsLAD #MLB #Baseball #Sports #RepDetroit #LetsGoDodgers #TheShowOnMastodon @mlb
Sac fly Margot, Tigers takes 2-1 lead.
This should be it for Snell for the night.
Too risky to stick with him.
