Dodgers Slip Past Arizona, 3-2
The Arizona Diamondbacks inaugurated their 1997 season with a tough 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Bank One Ballpark. Starting Pitcher Greg Maddux was named player of the game for Los Angeles.

It could have been a different outcome for Los Angeles, had it not been for Jason Varitek, the 24-year old catcher . Varitek contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the tenth inning to put Los Angeles up, 3-2.

"It was a good effort all around," said Varitek.
