The Sox will start their season with an already bitter taste in their mouth, as the Yankees disposed of the Tigers 6-3. Curtis Granderson smashed the homer to put the Yanks up for good in the seventh, and Mark Texeira added a two-run blast. Luckily for the Sox, C.C. Sabathia was not up to form, as he gave up three runs in 6 innings, a quality start but at the low end of each spectrum. However, Joba "The Hutt" Chamberlain earned a win and Mariano Rivera started the season with a save to put the Yankees up. Opening Day is tomorrow for the Sox; they face Texas at 4:00, with Jon Lester facing off against C.J. Wilson.How would you like to start your season off with a walk-off homer? Apparently, the Reds love it, getting a blast in the ninth to grab a 7-6 win over Milwaukee. Former Red Sox prospect Takashi Saito earned a hold by throwing a scoreless inning for Milwaukee, but Logan Ondrusek earned the win. Ramon Hernandez had a monster day for Cincinnati, going 4-5 with the walk-off bomb. Boy, he must be happy, huh?
Trivia
Hernandez hit just 7 homers and played in only 97 games last year for Cincinnati.
