On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch review the Los Angeles Dodgers’ season-opening series against the Diamondbacks, with all the various highlights from opening day and more.
What better way to start the Three-Inning Save podcast than with a three-inning save, this one by designated three-inning saver Andre Jackson, who has pulled off the feat three times in his eight major league games, dating back to 2021. Not bad for someone who didn’t even know three-inning saves existed when he first got one.
The Dodgers offense was up and down in the first weekend, combining for 18 runs in the two wins, and falling 2-1 in both losses. Trayce Thompson hit three home runs and drove in eight in one game, and Will Smith was the offensive hero on opening day, driving in four.
Dodgers pitching was excellent, allowing only seven runs in four games. But two late blips by the bullpen contributed to both losses. We go over the first four games of the weekend, plus thoughts from the series and highlights from opening day.
