MLB season opens Down Under

SYDNEY (AP) — The Diamondbacks lost 7-5 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in the second game of their Major League Baseball season-opening series.

After losing 3-1 to the Dodgers on Saturday, the Diamondbacks trailed 7-0 through seven innings in the finale at Sydney Cricket Ground before making it interesting, scoring a run in the eighth and four in the ninth.

The Diamondbacks are 0-2 to start the season. The L.A. team holds a very early two-game lead in the NL West over their Arizona adversaries.
