It was not a great day for the Dodger affiliates, Tulsa, Rancho Cucamonga and Great Lakes lost. Oklahoma City got an earlier trip home as their game was postponed.
Yadier Alvarez made his 2018 debut and the right-handed pitcher had a nice start to his season, giving up two runs (one earned), four hits, one walk and striking out four.
The Dodgers and Iowa Cubs were scheduled to play a five-game series to start the 2018 season. Instead they got in three games, two via an Opening Day doubleheader. The Dodgers and Cubs will have to makeup those two games at some point during the season.
