Indians pitcher Justin Masterson surrendered just three hits and one walk in seven scoreless innings while striking out four Monday, but he didn't factor into the decision in his team's 2-0 win over the A's on Opening Day.

Masterson enjoyed a great spring, giving up three earned runs in 24 2/3 innings while striking out 25. He pitched even better Monday. Last season, he gave up just one earned run in 22 innings over his first three regular-season starts, and he'll look to stay strong when he faces the Twins Sunday.
