Adrian a one-man wrecking crew with three homers vs. Padres

Will Middlebrooks also homered for San Diego off McCarthy, who struck out nine in five-plus innings of his Dodgers debut.

Gonzalez is the first player in MLB history to hit five home runs through his team's first three games of a season, according to Elias Sports. All three of Gonzalez's home runs came off Cashner. He also singled in a run off Frank Garces for a fourth RBI, going 10-for-13 in the series with seven RBIs. Kemp went 5-for-13 in the three games.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

Another fast start: Scoring runs -- period -- was a big problem for the Padres in 2014, as they ranked last in the game (535 runs). Not so much this season, as the Padres scored four first-inning runs in the series -- one each on Monday and Tuesday and then two on Wednesday on Upton's home run.

Historic hitting: Gonzalez also joined Carl Furillo (1955) and Jimmy Wynn (1974) as the only Dodgers since 1914 to homer in the first three games of a season and is the only Dodger since at least 1914 to have three hits in each of the first three games of the season. The last National Leaguer to do it was Orlando Cepeda in 1963. More >
