Cirillo has 3 hit day, Cubs Move to 1-0
The bad news for the Kansas City Royals: an opening day loss, 9-1, to the Chicago Cubs at Royals Stadium. The good news: it was just game one in a long season. Earning player of the game honors was Jeff Cirillo. He was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Randy Tomlin earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 1 earned run on 3 hits, with 6 walks and 5 strikeouts.

Chicago used the bat of Mark Grace to get the win. The first baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Cirillo told the Chicago Citizen. "It's as simple as that."
