The Indians spoil Opening Day for the much-heralded revamped Blue Jays, scoring two runs off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey in the 2nd inning, thanks to a pair of passed balls by C J.P. Arencibia, who has all kinds of trouble handling his new batterymate’s dancing pitches. Asdrubal Cabrera adds a two-run homer in the 5th for a 4 – 1 win at the Rogers Centre. Justin Masterson gets the win and Chris Perez the save.
