As expected, MLB's opening day was glorious. There were homers and steals and a couple of extra-inning games. Some matches raced over the total, some games stayed under the total. It was a little chilly here and there, but no rain.
In a game and a day about numbers, one stood out to me: 13. That was the strikeout count for Washington lefty, MacKenzie Gore.
Gore didn't get a win, of course — his 1-0 lead was quickly lost by the Washington bullpen. The Nationals didn't win the game, either — the Phillies scored a 7-3 victory in 10 innings.
