Major League Opening Day 2013

Scores from around the League:

New York 11 Denver 2.  Pedro Lewis goes 7-6-2-2-4-8 for the win over Ruben Rogers.  Brett Solo, Manfred Mueller, and Marcus Redmon hit HRs for New York.

Philadelphia 7 Toronto 6.  In a battle of the blown saves, Hank Jenks blows a 1-run lead in the 9th, giving up 3 to Toronto.  New closer Jabba Robinson gives up 2 in the bottom half of the 9th to Philadelphia to send it to extra innings.   Jimmy Taylor's double wins it in the 11th.  Hank Crowell goes 0-5 in his debut for Philadelphia.

Hawaii 3 Florida 2.  Hawaii fields an old AAA team but still manages to beat Florida.  Yoda Skywalker, perhaps the only legitimate major league regular on the roster, is hit by a pitch in his first at bat, and breaks his wrist.  He will not return until close to the end of the month (18 games).  

St. Louis 3 Alaska 0.  Wayne Gardella throws a 6 hit shutout, walking 1 and striking out 10.  Bryce Parkman goes 0-3 with a walk and a strikeout in his debut.

Hollywood 6 Green Day 4.  Homeruns from BJ Lewis and Miguel Tejawa.  Keith Cerrano collects 3 hits for Hollywood, who may have the worst starting OFs in the league.  Javier Cavazos gets the 1-2-3 save for Hollywood.

Portland 3 Detroit 2.  Roger Lewis 7-7-2-2-3-9 and Bjorn Frostad 8-4-2-2-4-9 both get no-decisions.  Rookie RP Kevin Ribaudo pitches a scoreless 9th, and picks up the win on a George Kird walk-off HR in the bottom of the 9th.

Los Angeles 9 Bay Area 6.  Both starting pitchers get knocked around, Mazdahonda going 6-6-6-6-3-7 and Larry Reynolds going 5-4-5-4-1-4.  Mazdahonda helps his own cause by hitting a 3-run HR.  Brent Johnson also homers for LA, and Corey McGarvey hits 2 homers for Bay Area.  J-Rod pitches the 9th for the save.
