MLB fans ridicule the Dodgers for their first loss of the MLB season against the Arizona Diamondbacks: "Wasted that great outing by May smh"
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their first game of the season as the Arizona Diamondbacks came from behind to take a 2-1 win. The Diamondbacks won on the back of a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning by Kyle Lewis.
Mookie Betts started for Los Angeles. He scored a solo home run in the seventh inning. The D-backs countered immediately in the eighth inning with a double by Evan Longoria before Lewis' 383-foot bomb, his first career pinch-hit homer.
The Boys in Blue were directly given the chance to go ahead with a walk and a base stolen by Miguel Vargas before James Outman also drew a walk. But Miguel Rojas was unable to capitalize on the chance with an out on a flyball to Nick Ahmed. More chances came to Los Angeles with a Mookie Betts leadoff walk; however, that wasn't converted as the game ended in favor of the D-backs.
Fans on social media were quick to troll Los Angeles about their loss.
@Dodgers Only took 2 games in to the season for Roberts to mismanage the bullpen.

Fans brutally mocked Alex Vesia, whose eighth innings allowed the go-ahead home run for Arizona.
@Dodgers Never was a fan of Alex Vesia and today reminded me of why.. 🗑️🗑️🗑️
Dustin May's performance at the start was also noted by the club's fan base, as they congratulated him for scattering three hits in six-plus innings. He struck out four and walked one in his season debut.
Way to waste Dustin May's performance!! twitter.com/Dodgers/status…
