Shohei Ohtani — and his new wife — stole the show as the Dodgers beat the Padres in Wednesday's season opener, the first regular-season MLB game to be played in South Korea.
Shohei Ohtani’s RBI single capped a four-run eighth-inning rally in his Dodgers debut, and Los Angeles beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 in Wednesday’s season opener. The game turned when a routine grounder went through the webbing of the glove of first baseman Jake Cronenworth as the go-ahead run scored. Ohtani went 2-for-5 in his first game since leaving the Los Angeles Angels for a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers.
Los Angeles acquired him from Tampa Bay in December and signed the 30-year-old right-hander to a $136.5 million, five-year contract. Darvish allowed an unearned run and two hits in 3 2/3 innings. Muncy had the first hit of the season, lining a single off the end of his bat in the second and into center. Starting his 12th season, Bogaerts made his first big-league appearance at second as Ha-Seong Kim moved to shortstop.
