Dodgers' eighth-inning rally sparked by ground ball going through Jake Cronenworth's glove

The 2024 Major League Baseball season began in strange fashion Wednesday.

A ground ball that could have resulted in an inning-ending double play opened the door for a Dodgers rally en route to a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.

It's a play that Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth won't forget for some time.

During the eighth inning of the opening game of the Seoul Series, Gavin Lux came to the plate with runners on first and second base with one out and the score tied at two.
