Only one game as baseball comes back for the stateside debut of the season. We start in shiny new Marlins Ballpark, as the Miami (no longer representing all of Florida) Marlins host the World Series champions St. Louis Cardinals. Kyle Lohse and Josh Johnson were on the mound. St. Louis started with David Freese singling in Carlos Beltran and Lance Berkman in the first inning. The Cardinals added on in the second with a Rafael Furcal single scoring Daniel Descalso. St. Louis then padded the lead in the eighth inning when Descalso grounded out, offering enough time for Freese to dart home. Miami avoided the shutout in the bottom of the same inning with a John Buck double that brought around Omar Infante. The final held from here at 4-1, with Lohse picking up the win, Jason Motte the save, and Johnson getting stuck with the loss.
