American League Update: Yankees Open Season with Win

By Pat Carroll

     Aside from being a windy, cloudy 42-degree day in the Bronx, everything worked out for the New York Yankees on Opening Day against the Detroit Tigers. C.C. Sabathia threw six solid innings, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven Tiger batters. Offensively, Mark Teixeira hit a 3-run bomb in the third inning, giving the Yanks an early lead and they never trailed after. Alex Rodriguez was 1-for-2 with a run and two walks, Curtis Granderson added a home run and an RBI, newcomers Russell Martin and Rafael Soriano proved their worth and the Yankees won 6-3. Stay tuned for more AL news.
