Opening Day Jitters for Dodgers, Pirates Swing Hot Bats for 9-4 Victory

It was a gorgeous day for baseball in PNC park for opening day between the Dodgers and the Pirates. Unfortunately for the Dodgers their play was anything but beautiful as the Pirates attacked Billingsley early and often, forcing him to leave after just 3 innings of work. Garret Jones became the first Pirate to hit a home run this season, as he was the only one to do it for Pittsburgh today. Zack Duke looked pretty impressive, but gave up two homeruns, including a 3 run blast, both to Manny Ramirez. The Pirates will take the opening day victory though, as their spirits are soaring high for the series.
