Sox Lose in Opening Day

CHICAGO -- Everything was smooth... until the second pitch of the game was thrown. That is when Cleveland centerfielder Grady Sizemore hit a home run off of Jose Contreras to make the score 1-0. Then everything fell apart in the first ending up in a 5-run inning.

But that wasnt the end of the Sox! In the bottom of the first Pablo Ozuna led off the inning with a double then was driven in on a Darin Erstad 2-run shot.

The Indians scored 4 more in the top of the second, followed by one for the Sox in the bottom.

In the third inning is when things started to look up for the Sox when Paul Konerko blasted his first homer of the year to make the score 9-3.

The scoring stopped until the top of the eighth inning when the Indians scored one, the bottom of the 9th resulted in 2 more Sox runs, then the end of the game and the score came out to: 12-5, Indians.

Winning Pitcher: C.C. Sabathia, 1-0.
Losing Pitcher: Jose Contreras, 0-1.
Sox Player of the Game: Darin Erstad. 1/4, 2 RBI, HR. .250 AVG.
