WP- Jose Santiago. LP- Denny McLain (0-1)
HR- Rico Petrocelli, Boston.
McLain was bested by Boston’s Jose Santiago, who threw a five-hit shutout, as the Red Sox won on opening day, 2-0. Denny pitched well, earning a quality start, but a lack of run support hurt him. Unlike his real-life start, in which he escaped with a no decision, this time, he suffered his first loss of the year.
