Hey, it rhymes!
This Thursday will be the 6th time in Diamondbacks’ history that we will meet the Los Angeles Dodgers on Opening Day. Of those 6 it will be the 4th time that Opening Day match will be played in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers are not a pleasant Opening Day partner. The Diamondbacks won just 1 Opening Day match against them, in 2001, with a narrow 3-2. But, hey, that could mean that if we win this year, we will also win the World Series!
All other meetings with the Dodgers on Opening Day ended in losses, with the one in 2003 being the most painful one as it was the only Opening Day match ever that the Diamondbacks were shut out by a team: Hidea Nomo pitched a complete game with 103 pitches and allowed just 4 hits and a base on balls.
