It wasn't the type of start that the Arizona Diamondbacks wanted to their 2026 season on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers battered D-backs' pitching en route to an 8-2 win at Dodger Stadium..

In just scoring two runs, Arizona's team batting average sits at .194. What about their team ERA? That's at 9.00 after just one game.

On Friday night, the D-backs will send Ryne Nelson to the mound against the Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan.

First pitch at Dodger Stadium is set for 10:10 p.m. ET.
