LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Dodgers will conduct their first fireworks show of the 2019 season following Friday evening's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.

The fireworks show will be set to music from the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Fans will be invited onto the field to watch the show, which will take place before 11 p.m. and is subject to cancellation if the game lasts too long.

Former U.S. Army Sgt. Mike Gallardo will be honored as the Military Hero of the Game. He had his right leg amputated because of injuries received trying to rescue his unconscious commander from his burning vehicle following an explosion of a roadside bomb in Iraq.
