SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez delivered the type of opening day performance the Seattle Mariners have come to expect -- even after missing some time during spring training.
It's just a new version of Hernandez that got the job done.
"I had to do my job. It was good. It was fun," Hernandez said.
Hernandez pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, Nelson Cruz hit a two-run home run in the first and the Mariners opened the season with a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night.
