Salazar Shines in MLB Debut
HOUSTON - The Astros were only able to score one run on Opening Day, but thanks to the pitching of Cuban sensation Aurelio Salazar that was more than enough. Salazar (1-0) pitched 8 strong innings, striking out 9 while allowing only 4 hits and 1 walk. New closer Joel Hanrahan pitched a perfect 9th inning to seal the victory.
Jose Altuve hit a solo home run in the first inning which was the only offense of the game.
