The Dodgers beat the Yankees 3-0 in their home opener at Dodger Stadium .

Teoscar Hernandez hit a go-ahead 3 -run homer, making manager Dave Roberts look like a genius for putting him third in the batting order.

Shohei Ohtani homered for the second time this season, with Hollywood stars Tom Hanks , Mary Hart and Rob Lowe celebrating.

The game was a thriller, but paled in comparison to the pre-game festivities, even with Blake Snell making his Dodgers debut.

Snell gave up nine baserunners in just five innings, but the Tigers couldn’t capitalize, going 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position off Snell .

Ohtani was wearing the same belt when he smacked a home run into left field, with everyone going home happy.
