The Milwaukee Creams satisfied the home crowd at Milwaukee County Stadium, treating them to a season-opening win, 4-2, over the Minnesota Twins. Starting Pitcher Matt Young was named player of the game for Milwaukee. Jeff Calhoun closed it out for his 1st save.

The Creams got a lift from third baseman Chipper Jones, who in the bottom of the fourth stroked a 3-1 sinker into right-center for a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Creams ahead, 4-1.

"I take a professional approach to my job," said Young. "I've been around this game for a while."
