The Dodgers beat the Mets 7-5 in an ugly, delirious, rain-soaked, 13 -inning slopfest.

The game started at 7:10 p.m. ET . It was a pyrrhic victory of epic proportions for the defending champions.

The Dodgers are now one night into a gauntlet, one that may come to define their season.

There are, at present, 14 pitchers on Los Angeles ’ injured list, seven of which are starters.

Blake Snell , Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki were in the club’s Opening Day rotation.

Four high-leverage relief arms — Evan Phillips , Michael Kopech , Blake Treinen and Kirby Yates — are also on the shelf.

Shohei Ohtani was supposed to face live hitters for the first time since his Tommy John surgery.
