Diamondbacks Double Up San Diego, 6-3
The bad news for the San Diego Padres: an opening day loss, 6-3, to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Jack Murphy Stadium. The good news: it was just game one in a long season. Earning player of the game honors was Tony Gwynn. He went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Floyd Youmans went 5 innings for Arizona to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 2 earned runs. He scattered 4 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. His record improves to 1-0.

Arizona used the bat of Bobby M Estalella to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Diamondbacks ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Winning is contagious," said Gwynn. "We're looking forward to the next game."
