"I'd rather be lucky than good", a quote attributed to Hall of Fame Pitcher Lefty Gomez, should be the Dodgers battle cry for the rest of the season.
The Dodgers won the first game of their season against their local rivals from the American League, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and Scott Van Slyke carried the big bat with four hits and four Runs Batted In. Two of those hits barely left the infield as his two RBI double deflected off the pitchers glove and barely made the outfield grass but he ended up on second base with his second double of the game. The four hits were a career high for Van Slyke and the four RBI's matched a career high.
Zack Greinke held on long enough to get the win, his 16th, and the Dodgers improved their National League West lead to 8 1/2 games over the San Francisco Giants.
