The Dodgers celebrated their home opener after winning the World Series with a memorable ceremony featuring tributes to their past, including a heartfelt moment between Freddie Freeman and Kirk Gibson. After raising the championship flag, they performed spectacularly on the field, overcoming the Detroit Tigers with an exciting 5-4 victory, powered by homers from Teoscar Hernández and Shohei Ohtani. The event was marked by nostalgia and cheers from the sellout crowd, emphasizing the teamâs continuing legacy and strong start to the season, raising hopes among fans for another championship run.
The ceremony finished with a homer from the guys who hit the homers. Moments after Freddie Freeman and his family were honored for his Game 1 game-winning grand slam in last year's World Series, out of the Dodger dugout popped Kirk Gibson, the Game 1 homer-hitting hero of 1988.
The Dodgers remained untarnished with a comeback 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Just like so many times last season, big hits powered the victory.
As the Dodgers' mascot and trophy chauffeur Ice Cube once famously said, 'Today was a good day.' This sentiment perfectly encapsulated the festive atmosphere at Chavez Ravine.
And just like so many times, they came from Teoscar Hernández and Shohei Ohtani, who homered in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively, to help the Dodgers beat defending AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal.
