Royals Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
Fans of the Kansas City Royals who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Kansas City win over the visiting Chicago Cubs, 8-4. Chris Irvin started for the home team against Edwin Rivera. Bill Baconneck earned accolades for his performance.

The Royals got a big at-bat from left fielder Gil Switzer. For the game, Switzer went 1 for 3 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 1st double of the season gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Switzer. "And not try to do too much."
