Twins Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
The Minnesota Twins opened their 2098 season with a triumph over the Chicago Cubs at Target Field. The final score was 8-4. Minnesota center fielder William Maki had a big game. He was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Reliever Jeff Downing picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Aaron Hosey took the loss. Picking up the save was Nick Long, his 1st.

The Twins got an important contribution from second baseman Jim Whitlock, who in the bottom of the third punched a 1-0 changeup into right-center for a run-scoring triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and put the Twins ahead, 2-0.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Whitlock, "and then get after it again."
