The Los Angeles Dodgers had a little luck on their side as they defeated the San Diego Padres in the 2024 season-opener in Seoul, South Korea, on Wednesday, 5-2.

With the game tied up at 2-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Gavin Lux hit a grounder to Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth on what appeared to be a routine play. Somehow, the ball got past the infielder and allowed Teoscar Hernandez to score to put the Dodgers up 3-2.
