Adrian Gonzalez hit three home runs, becoming the first player in major league history with five in the season's first three games, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 Wednesday to win their opening series. Fittingly, Gonzalez received his Silver Slugger award from last season before the game. Then he went out and had a four-hit game to go with consecutive three-hit games on Monday and Tuesday, becoming the first National League player to do so since Orlando Cepeda of San Francisco had three straight three-hit games in 1963. His five homers in the first three games made major league history, according to information provided to the Dodgers by the Elias Sports Bureau.
