Get ’em on, get ’em over, get ’em in! It’s hard to overstate the value of getting the lid off early in the game with great team baseball.

Once the Dodgers got the lid off they opened up a can with doubles from Max Muncy and Kike Hernandez to open up a 3-0 lead.

Cleveland answered in the bottom of the 1st with a run, then after both teams went scoreless in the 2nd, the skies opened up and it was a wrap.

The game was suspended and will resume today at 9:10 Pacific. The Dodgers will get an extra roster spot which will be Ryan Pepiot, who will likely start the 2nd game. The remainder of the 1st game is expected to be a bullpen game.
