The electricity in the air was special Tuesday night – for good reasons. The most anticipated game of the season finally arrived, one that Dodgers fans circled on their calendars long before opening day.
REVENGE.

The history, tension, and bitterness between both teams don’t need to be explained but if there’s any confusion. The two teams slugged it out during the 2017 World Series in a back and forth seven games full of drama and emotion ending with the Houston Astros crowned champs in a very odd and easy game seven victory.
The Los Angeles Rams are back in action. They were able to have their first open practice with fans. Over 30,000 fans attended the minicamp, and it was the first time they saw the new stadium and new uniforms in person.
Tough night for the Dodgers as they lose 11-6 to the Giants. As Albert Pujols knocked his 669th homer in the outfield, his team struggled to get a victory.

The rival San Francisco Giants arrived in Los Angeles Thursday night for the first time this young season.
Gridlocked with three runs a piece in the bottom of the sixth, Max Muncy put the Dodgers on top with a towering solo home run cemented in the centerfield bleachers leading the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Giants.
Dodgers pitcher David Price, who opted out of the 2020 shortened season, reached a significant milestone with his 2,000th strikeout of his career.

“It’s taken a lot of hard work, a lot of pitches thrown,” said Price. “Whenever I see a milestone like that, its longevity in this game. To be able to have that at the highest level of baseball, it’s special to me.”
