At Camelback Ranch-Glendale in Phoenix, World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers played at home against San Diego Padres and lost 2-1 in a 7-inning game.
Although Camelback Ranch is located in the city of Phoenix, it is owned by the city of Glendale, which is located 14 km northwest of Phoenix.

Jurickson Profar was the starting centerfielder and lead-off hitter for San Diego.
He had a strong first at bat in the top of the first inning off of starting pitcher Trevor Bauer, who signed with Los Angeles on February 11.
Profar fouled off some pitches and then hit a single on the ninth delivery by Bauer, who last season won the Cy Young Award in the National League, while pitching for Cincinnati Reds.
Next batter Tommy Pham then walked (seven pitches), but hereafter, Bauer recovered and retired the next three batters (two strikeouts).
In the top of the third inning, Profar faced Bauer again with a runner on first base, but this time, he popped out into foul territory.
Profar was then replaced in the bottom of the fourth by Robert Hassell III.
San Diego scored its two runs in the sixth inning on a 2-run single by Gosuke Katoh.
Los Angeles scored its lone run in the seventh inning on a double by Matt Davidson.

The eighth run was added in the ninth.
Kansas City took a 7-6 lead in the seventh on a 2-run homerun by Erick Mejia, who then added an RBI-double two innings later.
