"Yoshinobu Yamamoto joined Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers in Dodgers history to be named World Series MVP and start the club's Opening Day game the following season."
"The Dodgers' offense was quiet for the first four innings of the game, with Shohei Ohtani being the only baserunner to reach on a leadoff single in the fourth inning."
"Pages then followed with a three-run homer, the first by a Dodgers player this season, to put them ahead by one run."
"The Dodgers are 40-29 on Opening Day since 1958, and they are 15-3 in their last 18 Opening Day matchups."
The Los Angeles Dodgers achieved an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Day, starting their quest for a three-peat.

Andy Pages led the offense with a three-run homer, contributing to a strong fifth inning that propelled the Dodgers to victory.
