The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks did not have many nice things to say about each other last season while battling for the National League West. The teams will attempt to set the animosity aside and represent Major League Baseball in a positive way when they open the season in Australia on Saturday at 7 p.m. local time - 1 a.m. PT. Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke was not shy about his displeasure at the prospect of Australia games earlier in camp and did not make the trip.

The Los Angeles Dodgers began the defense of the 2013 National League West title with an opening day victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia. The Dodgers will try to make it a two-game sweep when they visit the Diamondbacks in Sydney again Saturday. Scott Van Slyke belted a two-run homer and Clayton Kershaw tossed 6 2/3 strong innings in the 3-1 opening day triumph.
