The Indians got a strong performance from the pitching staff in Tuesday's opener against the Blue Jays, so they only needed one hit on offense. Asdrubal Cabrera provided it.

Cabrera, the team's starting shortstop on opening day for the fourth year in a row, slugged a two-run home run in the fifth inning off Jays' starter R.A. Dickey. That lone swing was enough to lead the Indians to a 4-1 win. He finished the game 1 for 4 with a walk. 

Cabrera is coming off consecutive All-Star game appearances and should be a fixture in the top of the team's lineup during the season.
