Braves Popped by Dodgers, 9-1
Opening day festivities have begun throughout the league. Fans of the Boston Braves were eager to watch Dizzy Trout square off against Max Lanier of the visiting Brooklyn Dodgers. In the end, the Dodgers won the game, 9-1, with Max Lanier leading the way.

Brooklyn won the game in part because of Pete Reiser. The third baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Dodgers ahead, 2-0. For the game, Reiser had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I felt like I had pretty good command of mostly everything," said Lanier.
