Opening Day versus the Giants at Dodger Stadium. Spot the lead story.
- Chad Billingsly has 11 strikeouts and moves to 2-0.
- Andre Ethier hits two homeruns, including a three-run jack.
- Matt Kemp has hit in every game so far this season, even the one he didn’t start in.
- The Dodgers destroy the Giants 11-1.
- And for good measure, Vin Scully threw out the first pitch!
That’s a pretty awesome game, eh?
Oh, and, uh, Orlando Hudson hit for the cycle.
Yep. The cycle.
First Dodger to hit for the cycle since 1970. First cycle ever by a Dodger at Dodger Stadium.
I think I may need some oxygen.
Welcome to Los Angeles, O-Dawg!
UPDATE:
As if we needed more, it has been pointed out that,
- Chad also had 0 walks to go with all his Ks.
- This was the largest crowd ever at Dodger Stadium, 57,099.
