Opening Day starter

Kyle Freeland started off the day sharp, but faltered down the stretch. He started off with a strikeout/wild pitch that allowed Mookie Betts to head to first. Luckily, though, he sent down the next three batters in order.

In the second, Max Muncy singled but then Will Smith, Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger all went down.

The third is where things started to falter a little bit. Gavin Lux walked and then Betts struck out, but then Freeland his Freddie Freeman.
