Felix Hernandez is now tied for first for most opening day wins in MLB history.

He shut down the Indians tonight allowing just one run, and has tied Walter Johnson with 9 Opening Day wins.

I have not watched him pitch much, with him being in both the AL and the Pacific Time Zone. But that's a pretty nice accomplishment. And I believe it is in 11 starts, though I am not certain.

Meanwhile, Corey Kluber was terrific in the loss, going the distance (8 IP) and making just one mistake - a 2 run first inning HR. Tough loss.
