Guardians Score Late, Upend Angels, 6-5
With designated hitter Prince Fielder leading the charge, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 6-5, at Progressive Field. Fielder, who led the NL in RBI with 151 in 2009, was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Cleveland reliever Alan Knotts picked up the win to move to 1-0. John Wesley suffered the loss. The Guardians now own a record of 46-34.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Cleveland. That's when Gregor Blanco, who finished 5th in the AL in stolen bases with 24 in 2010, hit a run-scoring double off John Wesley to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"This game had its share of tense moments," Fielder said, postgame.
