04/09 Toronto 9, Kansas City 1

It was certainly a fantastic home opener for the Blue Jays and A.J. Burnett.

Burnett shrugged off his weak first start to pitch 6 2/3 solid innings, only allowing a solo home run in his last inning of work.

The Jays' offence showed up as advertised and, under a sellout crowd, knocked in 9, coincidentally the same number they scored in Burnett's loss in Detroit. Vernon Wells knocked out his 2nd homer of the year, and Aaron Hill led the team with 3 hits on Monday.

Every Jay hitter in the starting lineup got a hit in the home opener.

The series continues on Tuesday, with Josh Towers getting his first start of the year.

WP: Burnett (1-1)
LP: Perez (0-2)

Toronto (4-2) Kansas City (2-5)
