Nicholson, Guardians Too Much for Athletics
The Cleveland Guardians topped the Oakland Athletics by the score of 7-3, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Barry Nicholson. Nicholson was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Guardians. Dale Tatem earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 8 innings of work. Juan Ramirez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 19th save.

Jonathan Setzler, who finished 3rd in the AL in runs with 107 in 2092, came through for Cleveland with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first. The third baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and collected 2 RBI.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Setzler said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."

The American League Central Division-leading Guardians have a record of 73-56.
