CHICAGO -- Danny Salazar was effectively wild and John Danks was not effective overall, as the Indians spoiled the White Sox home opener with a 7-1 victory Friday afternoon before 38,019 at U.S. Cellular Field. The game was played with a first-pitch temperature of 39 degrees and intermittent snow flurries.
Salazar allowed one run on two hits over 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven and walking three. But he threw 94 pitches during his season-opening start, 52 for strikes. He went to a three-ball count on six of the first seven hitters, but closed the third without having given up a hit.
