Spring may not really have arrived in the north-east, but baseball doesn't wait. The 2011 season kicked off today, and the Yankees were quickly down to business, despite a cool, wet day in NYC. Their 6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers featured a slimline CC Sabathia, Rivera's first save of the season, and Curtis Granderson taking a couple of spectacular catches and hitting the go ahead home run in the 7th innings.
The San Diego Padres won the first extended game of the season with a 5-3 11th innings win over the St Louis Cardinals. Albert Pujols didn't help the Cardinals' cause, hitting into double plays three times. The defending champions, the San Francisco Giants are starting their season at Dodger Stadium in LA, with Tim Lincecum on the mound.
