LIVE: Dodgers vs. Giants Opening Day Game Thread, Thursday at 7:00 p.m. PT

Welcome to another of our nightly game threads. Tonight marks the first of four at Dodger Stadium versus San Francisco to open the 2020 championship season. First pitch is at 7:00 p.m. PT. on ESPN.

Highlights from the final exhibition game of the year Tuesday include booming home runs by Zack McKinstry and Chris Taylor and scoreless relief from A.J. Ramos and Kenley Jansen.

The highlight of Summer Camp was the surprise signing of Mookie Betts to a 12-year $365 million contract extension.

Reader-participation game threads are posted in this space daily for every Dodgers contest that is telecast locally or nationally, including the postseason as locals are in there. All of them. With yours truly as the discussion host.

I post a new game thread, along with the lineups and the most recent game's highlights in this space at least 40 minutes minutes prior to first pitch each night. So if you're looking for a reliable source for that information, you'll find it here.
