OPENING DAY UPDATE
Corey Patterson hit a homerun in the top of the first to give the Cubs an early 1-0 lead at Cincy. You might remember last year on Opening Day Patterson hit 2 homeruns and drove in 7 runs against the Mets.

Kerry Wood threw a scoreless first inning but his fastball was only in the high 80s for most of the inning. I'm sure he'll warm up as the game goes on. It's 45 degrees at Great American Ballpark right now.

Carlos Pena hit a homerun for Detroit so the Tigers are leading Toronto 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth.
