Vancouver Roughed Up By Rangers
The bad news for the Vancouver Mounties: an opening day loss, 9-3, to the Texas Rangers at Telus Centre. The good news: it was just game one in a long season. No one played better than Hank Blalock. He belted 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice.

With Texas leading 5-2 in the top of the seventh, Blalock hit a sinker from Justin Verlander for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 9-2.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager George Brett.
