The Most Important Thing

SportsCenter @SportsCenter

The Dodgers scored 11 in the first inning 😳

The Dodgers started off yesterday’s game against the Cardinals pretty well, you could say.

MLB Stats @MLBStats

The @Dodgers' 11 runs in the 1st are the most they have scored in a regular-season inning since the team moved to LA.

Poor Carlos Martinez never got out of the first inning. 0.2 IP, 6 H, 4 BB, 10 ER. Yikes
