Dodgers Opening Day record one year ago today

Remember when they played baseball?

It seems like a lifetime ago, but it was only one full turn on the calendar back to 2019 when the Dodgers opened the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a game they hit an Opening Day record eight home runs.

Joc Pederson and Enrique Hernandez led the power surge with two home runs each. The Dodgers did the majority of their damage off former-Dodger and Arizona Ace, Zack Greinke, in the fourth inning. Hernandez and Austin Barnes hit back-to-back homers. Greinke got opposing pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu to groundout and struck out Pederson, before Corey Seager launched the third long ball of the inning, knocking Greinke out of the game.
