The Cleveland Indians ace Justin Masterson pitched like one on Opening Day when he went eight strong innings. The strike out pitch like all other was working getting double digit 10 K's before leaving with a 4-1 lead. He only gave up a solo shot to Jose Bautista, a home run hitter of the highest magnitude! That was his really only blemish of his outing. Then closer Chris Perez came to the mound to what was hoped to be a save, but the opening day jitters must have gotten to him and gave up the lead in the ninth. The scored stayed the same until a record 16th inning 3 run homer given up by Jairo Asencio to J.P Arencibia broke up the tie and overall win by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Indian fans take nothing away from the "Masterful" start of Justin Masterson the "Ace" did put the Indians in the best place to win the game.
