Jered Weaver went 6 2/3 strong innings giving up just one run, while Hideki Matsui opened his Angels career with a home run as the Angels open the 2010 season with a 4-1 victory over Minnesota.

Injury Note:
Brandon Wood suffered an MCL sprain and will likely be out 2-3 weeks. He was placed on the 15 day DL and recalled Freddy Sandoval from AAA Salt Lake City. The Angels also announced they signed super utility man Ryan Freel to a minor league contract.
