5. Chase Headley also hit a solo shot, and Starlin Castro hit a two-run homer.
4. Brett Gardner stole two bases. Two!
3. Michael Pineda was nearly perfect, retiring his first 20 batters: 7.2IP, 2H, 1ER, 11K, 0BB
2. Pineda became the eighth pitcher since 1913 to have multiple 10-K, 0-BB games for NYY.
1. Yankees beat the Rays 8-1. They are now 76-38 all-time in home openers, best record in MLB.
An off-day today, before the same two teams meet tomorrow. Can't wait to see Jordan Montgomery make his MLB debut for the Yankees!
