WATCH: Dodgers Bats Explode On Opening Day
The Los Angeles Dodgers graced their fans with another memorable Opening Day on Monday afternoon against the San Diego Padres.
In a game started by Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers knew all they needed was a few runs to grab themselves a win on Opening Day of the 2017 season.
They got Clayton a few runs and then some.
Joc Pederson stepped up with the bases loaded and broke open the tie with one grand swing of the bat.

Coming up to the plate immediately after the Pederson grand slam was Yasmani Grandal who thought that he should get involved in the home run party.

You think that is awesome? How about the reigning National League Rookie of the Year winner muscling up and sending a three run bomb over the center field wall?

After Pederson knocked in four on his grand slam and Seager brought home three with his, Grandal felt that he needed to catch up by blasting ANOTHER home run, this time from the other side of the plate.

Game 1 of 162 was quite a fun one. The Dodgers quest for October has officially started!
Roberts not concerned with Seager’s throwing
That was fun to watch.
