Five months after achieving a 111-win regular season only to see the San Diego Padres shatter their World Series-title aspirations in the National League Division Series, the Dodgers opened their 2023 campaign with an 8-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on a chilly night at Dodger Stadium.
Veteran Los Angeles Times photographers Gina Ferazzi and Allen J. Schaben were on hand to capture many of the game’s biggest moments. Here’s a look at some of their best photos:
