Bill Wegman was named Opening Day starter over Jaime Navarro. Neither of them would be Opening Day starter for most teams as they are typical No 3 or No 4 starters.

Last season Wegman walked 34 batters and struck out 50 in 120 innings of work. So you know what to expect.

Maybe he was fired up because he was named Opening Day starter. He ended up with 13 K's, allowing only 2 baserunners in eight innings. He also collected 2 RBI's with a bases loaded double.

Opening Day nevertheless looked to take a negative turn for the 52,000+ crowd when setup man and lefty specialists Graeme Lloyd gave up a two run homer to Darren Daulton to blow the save.

A Kevin Seitzer double of Phillies closer Doug Jones paved the way for the walk off hit by newly acquired waiver claim Gerald Young.

Darryl Hamilton went 1 for 4 with 1 run scored and 1 RBI. Every starter excepted lead off man Jose Valentin reached base at least once.

Don't worry - I won't do such detailed reports about every game!
