Virgil Vasquez picked up his first win of the season with an impressive pitching performance in Toledo’s home opener.  He gave up just a single run on three hits and a walk with eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Preston Larrison gave up a run in his single inning and Blaine Neal pitched a perfect ninth to pick up his first save of the season.

Dane Sardinha was the hitting star in the win.  He went two for three with a solo homerun.  Timo Perez didn’t get a hit, but he stole two bases and Mike Hessman went two for four with a double and a run.
