These two teams had also opened the 2012 season (see #439), but this was a very different game: different weather conditions (cold, rainy Cleveland v. the SkyDome), different Tribe skipper (Manny Acta v. Terry Francona), different length of game (16 innings and 5:14 v. 9 innings and 2:31), different outcome (Cleveland blown lead and eventual loss v. Cleveland victory). One thing that was the same was the Cleveland starter, as Justin Masterson turned in another quality Opening Day outing, this time allowing one run on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts over six innings. His opposite number was RA Dickey, making his first start for the Blue Jays after the big offseason trade with the Mets. Dickey went six allowing four runs, and neither bullpen allowed a run so it ended 4-1.
