In the final few days leading up to their Cactus League opener against San Francisco, it looked very much like the Dodgers would need to wait until Sunday to kick their spring off against the Cubs.
Some forecasts for Scottsdale and the surrounding areas on Friday showed a 100% chance of rain all day with the possibility of flash flooding.
However, both the weather and baseball gods were on the same page on Saturday, as the weather eventually cleared enough to allow both teams to play a nine-inning contest, despite a lengthy delay.
Once all the dust settled on the field at Scottsdale Stadium, the Dodgers found themselves walking away with a 10-4 victory over their NL West division foes.
