Angels Clipped, 9-7
The bad news for the Los Angeles Angels: an opening day loss, 9-7, to the Kansas City Royals at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The good news: it was just game one in a long season. No one played better than Danny Betancourt. He went 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. The win went to Ben Hernandez in relief, making him now 1-0. Jimmy Merritt took the loss for Los Angeles.

With Kansas City trailing 7-5 in the top of the ninth, Betancourt hit a curveball from Jimmy Merritt for a grand slam home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 9-7.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Betancourt. "You've got to get results."
