MINNEAPOLIS- An opening day blowout for the Minnesota Twins. The Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 7-0 in their first game of the new season. Vance Worley out-dueled Justin Verlander. Worley, although striking out just two batters, pitched a complete game shutout. Verlander struggled in his 4.2 innings pitched and picked up the loss in his first start of the year.

The scoring started in the fourth inning for the Twins when Justin Morneau hit a three-run home run to give them a 3-0 lead. After one more run in the fourth and another in the fifth, Josh Willingham hit a two-run home run in the eight inning to give the Twins a 7-0 lead, but all Vance Worley needed was one run as the Twins went on to win by that same score.
