at Milwaukee 13, San Francisco 4: Bill Hall homered twice and had a career-high six runs batted in to help the Brewers win their home opener. It was the third career two-homer game for Hall, who didn’t hit a home run during spring training. “I wasn’t worried about not hitting home runs in spring training and exhibition games,” Hall said. “I’ve never seen those stats on the back of anybody’s baseball card.”

Houston 4, at Chicago 3: Cubs second baseman Mark DeRosa booted Lance Berkman’s grounder leading off the eighth inning, and Miguel Tejada hit a triple down the left-field line that got past Alfonso Soriano. Ty Wigginton followed with a sacrifice fly, giving the Astros a 4-2 lead.

Arizona 8, at Colorado 1: Micah Owings struck out a career-best nine batters and yielded only one run and two hits over 6 2/3 innings. After Willy Taveras doubled leading off the first, Owings retired 17 consecutive batters before walking Taveras with two out in the sixth.
