The Los Angeles Dodgers’ eagerly awaited Spring Training got off to a strong start with two victories over the San Diego Padres before the weekend, but on Saturday they were tied 7–7 with the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels played their first Cactus League game and showed that they could compete with the most expensive team in Major League Baseball.

The 7-7 tie prompted people to write off the newly formed superteam, even though there is still a long way to go before the regular season begins.

Jo Adell, an outfielder for the Angels, opened the scoring with a triple, and by the end of the sixth inning, they had taken a commanding 4-2 lead. Adell will want to make an impression and establish himself in the lineup during this pivotal season.

In the eighth inning, the Dodgers rallied and took the lead for the first time in the contest with five runs scored. But Jason Martin’s two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Angels hope that they could still win. The ninth inning saw no scoring from either team, resulting in a 7–7 tie at the end of the game.

MLB fans across seized the opportunity to mock the Dodgers for losing to their LA rivals in spite of their massive offseason investment.

“Superteam isn’t able to defeat the Angels,” a Twitter user stated. Another person said, “At least we didn’t lose.”

Kike Hernandez, a free agent with the Dodgers, is anticipated to decide soon.

Throughout this year’s offseason, the LA Dodgers have been among the MLB’s busiest teams. They have invested more than $1 billion in superstar free agents, but they have also made a few little adjustments and changes when necessary. A number of their players who were about to become free agents have also been re-signed, with the exception of utility man Kike Hernandez.

Over the years, he has become a fan favorite, and many are excited for him to re-sign with the organization. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB, Hernandez is anticipated to make a decision by Monday.
