Cardinals Hapless Against Royals, Brown
The 1998 season did not get off to quite the start the St. Louis Cardinals had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Kansas City Royals at Busch Stadium. The final score was 3-1. Starting Pitcher Kevin Brown was named player of the game for Kansas City.

Brown, the winning pitcher, raised his record to 1-0. In 8 innings of work, Brown gave up 1 earned run on 3 hits, while racking up 5 Ks. He kept the Cardinals punchless, offensively.

"We played hard and won," said Brown. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
