A45,832 (43,975).Baseball TodaySCOREBOARDTuesday, April 7Milwaukee at San Francisco (4:05 p.m. EDT). NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the Giants face the Brewers.STARSMondayn Tony Clark and Felipe Lopez, Diamondbacks, each homered from both sides of the plate to lead Arizona to a 9-8 victory over Colorado.n Emilio Bonifacio, Marlins, hit the majors' first inside-the-park homer on opening day since 1968, swiped three bases and had four hits in Florida's 12-6 victory over Washington.n Alfonso Soriano, Cubs, hit his 50th career leadoff home run as Chicago beat Houston 4-2.n Adam Lind, Blue Jays, went 4-for-5 with a home run and six RBIs to lift Toronto to a 12-5 victory over Detroit.n Felix Hernandez, Mariners, threw eight solid innings to help Seattle beat Minnesota 6-1.n Hanley Ramirez, Marlins, hit a grand slam and finished with five RBIs in Florida's 12-6 victory over Washington.n Jack Wilson, Pirates, hit a three-run double to cap a four-run ninth inning in Pittsburgh's 6-4 comeback victory at St. Louis.n Hank Blalock, Rangers, hit a three-run homer off Cliff Lee and Texas beat Cleveland 9-1.n Joe Saunders, Angels, yielded three hits over 6 2-3 innings in Los Angeles' 3-0 victory over Oakland.n Daniel Murphy, Mets, homered and drove in two runs in New York's 2-1 win over Cincinnati.n Hiroki Kuroda, Dodgers, allowed one run and four hits over 5 2-3 innings in Los Angeles' 4-1 victory over San Diego.THUDCC Sabathia allowed six runs and failed to get through the fifth inning in his first start with New York, and the Yankees lost to the Baltimore Orioles 10-5 on Monday. New York spent $423.5 million on free agents Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira during the offseason. Sabathia got a $161 million, seven-year deal, but the left-hander hardly looked like an ace against the Orioles while Teixeira went 0-for-4 and stranded five baserunners.NICE GAMEEmilio Bonifacio became a crowd favorite in his Marlins debut, hitting the majors' first inside-the-park homer on opening day since 1968 and going 4-for-5 against his former team. Bonifacio also stole three bases and scored four times in Florida's 12-6 victory over the Washington Nationals. He was summoned for a curtain call following his first big league homer, which landed short of the warning track but sailed over center fielder Lastings Milledge because he was playing so shallow.NICE GAME IITony Clark and Arizona newcomer Felipe Lopez each homered from both sides of the plate, and the Diamondbacks outslugged Colorado 9-8 in a power-filled opener. Eight home runs were hit in the game. Lopez and Clark became the first switch-hitting teammates to homer from both sides of the plate in a game since Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams did it for the New York Yankees on April 23, 2000. It had never been done on opening day.JUST LIKE THEY PLANNED ITThe revamped Mets bullpen sure looked good the first time out. Francisco Rodriguez and his fellow relievers protected a slim lead for Johan Santana, and New York held on Monday for a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Sean Green, J.J. Putz and Rodriguez squashed Cincinnati's lineup, allowing only two balls out of the infield in the final 3 1-3 innings.HE'S BACKKen Griffey Jr. got off to a great second start with Seattle, hitting an opening-night home run to back Felix Hernandez in a 6-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Griffey returned to the Mariners in February on a one-year, $2 million deal. His 41 homers against Minnesota are his most against any opponent. His eighth opening-day home run matched a major-league record and gave him 612 for his career.UGLY SCENEThe Toronto Blue Jays' 12-5 victory over the visiting Detroit Tigers was delayed when fans littered the field in the bottom of the eighth inning. Umpires waved both teams off the field for nine minutes after two balls were thrown from the stands in the direction of Tigers left fielder Josh Anderson. Groundskeepers cleared paper airplanes and empty beer cups from the warning track as the public address announcer read a message warning the crowd of 48,027 that the game could be forfeited.SPEAKING"There were thousands of great fans here tonight. Ice-cold Labatts and a big win for the Blue Jays they were having a great time. But you can't endanger any players, whether they're your players or someone else's. You just can't do it." Detroit manager Jim Leyland on umpires waving the Tigers and Blue Jays off the field for nine minutes in the bottom of the eighth inning after two balls were thrown from the stands in the direction of Tigers left fielder Josh Anderson.
