Seattle 9, Oakland 7
TOKYO (AP) – The Seattle Mariners have won the opening game of the baseball season, beating the Oakland Athletics 9-7 in Tokyo. Ichiro Suzuki drew the loudest ovation back home in Japan and Domingo Santana delivered the biggest hit, launching a grand slam that capped a five-run burst in the third inning. The game at the Tokyo Dome marked the earliest opening day ever. Oakland’s Mike Fiers threw the first pitch at 5:36 a.m. Eastern time – on the last day of winter.
TOKYO (AP) – Jay Bruce of the Seattle Mariners got the first hit of the 2019 Major League Baseball season, while Oakland’s Stephen Piscotty connected for the first home run. Bruce lined a single off the glove of shifted Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien with two outs in the top of the first inning today in Tokyo. Piscotty homered to center field in the bottom of the first off Marco Gonzales. Mariners newcomer Edwin Encarnacion was the first player to strike out this year and Seattle third baseman Ryon Healy made the first error.
