The St. Louis Cardinals played the home opener yesterday at Busch Stadium, complete with the Budweiser Clydesdales and the Hall of Famers, but the game itself goes to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Adam Wainwright was touched for 3 runs in just over 4 innings, and the Cardinal offense could only manage to scratch out 1 run as the Cards lost to the D’backs 3-1. After an off day today, the Cards and D’backs will resume the weekend series on Saturday afternoon.
After 2 days off, the Kansas City Royals will open a weekend series at Cleveland today. K.C. will send Danny Duffy to the mound against the Indians.
