Dodgers Top Giants 8-1 In Opener

LOS ANGELES (AP) –  Mookie Betts singled for his first hit with Los Angeles and scored the go-ahead run in an 8-1 opening victory over the San Francisco Giants in a fan-less Dodger Stadium. Betts went 1 for 5, a day after signing a $365 million contract covering 2021-32. Kike Hernandez homered and drove in five runs while tying his career high with four hits. Dustin May became the first Dodgers rookie to start on opening day since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 after Clayton Kershaw went on the injured list because of a back issue. Gabe Kapler managed his first game for the Giants.
