The Los Angeles Dodgers, coming off a second straight World Series disappointment, opened the 2019 Major League Baseball season with a bang on Thursday. The Dodgers belted a whopping eight home runs in a 12-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium to launch their quest for a third National League crown. The major league season began last week with the Seattle Mariners winning twice over the Oakland A's in games played at Japan's Tokyo Dome.
