The Toronto Blue Jays were one of the most talked about teams this offseason, after adding some of the biggest stars in the game, they became an instant division favorite.
The star studded Jays lineup debut Tuesday night, in front of over 48,000 Roger Centre fans.
Those Jay's fans went home unhappy, after the Cleveland Indians, defeated the Blue Jays, 4-1, on opening day.
Toronto have their number 1, in RA Dickey on the mound, to oppose Justin Masterson. Dickey got off to a rough, start giving up 2 runs in the second inning.
One on a Lonnie Chisenhall on ground out. Then a batter later, Drew Stubbs singled into left, bring home Mark Reynolds to make it a 2-0 nothing, Indians lead.
Dickey was able to settle down until the fifth. With a runner on, Asdrubal Cabrera got just enough on the ball sending it over the wall right, to make a 4-1 game.
Dickey finished the inning, and was done after 6. Allowing 3 runs, on 5 hits, with 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts.
Justin Masterson was the better of the two starters. Allowing only 1 run, on the bases loaded double play, letting the Melky Cabrera score.
Masterson pitched 6 innings, giving up 1 run, on 3 hits, striking out
5, and walking 3.
Clevelands bullpen came in and shut down Toronto's offense. Chris Perez captured the save and Indians 4-1 win.
