Week 1: Saturday roundup

You know it's a blowout when both teams use backup catchers on the mound. Russell Martin pitched a 1-2-3 inning,
but Arizona's John Ryan Murphy was no better than any other Diamondbacks pitcher. He allowed 7 runs in 2 innings.

Cody Bellinger shows the excitement hitters will feel
when the Diamondbacks pitching staff comes to town.

STUDS: Another awful day for the Arizona pitching staff means another big day for Dodgers hitters. Joc Pederson (PM) went 3 for 3 with a homer, 2 walks and 4 runs. Cody Bellinger (R) homered twice, singled twice and drove in 6. Justin Turner (M) went 3 for 3 with 5 RBIs, 3 runs and a walk. It was also a good day for catchers named Willson/Wilson. Willson Contreras (LCL) went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, 2 RBIs and a run. Wilson Ramos (HG) doubled, singled, walked, drove in 2 and scored 3 runs. Cesar Hernandez (M) tripled, singled, stole a base, scored twice and drove in a run. Freddie Freeman (LCL) went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs. Jeff McNeil (CB) went 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, 2 RBIs and 2 runs. Juan Soto (WLB) went 3 for 5 with a double, 2 RBIs, a run and a steal.

DUDS: Zack Godley (WLB) got hammered by the Dodgers, allowing 7 runs and striking out 3 in a 5.1-inning loss. Robinson Cano (LCL) went 0 for 5 with an error.

WEATHER: The Reds-Pirates game was postponed and will be made up as part of a doubleheader later this season.
