Corey Kluber retired the first two batters he faced, but then Robinson Cano singled and Nelson Cruz homered to put Seattle up 2-0. Felix Hernandez shut out the Indians for 5 1/3 innings, and while a two-out sixth-inning rally against Nick Vincent plated a run, they came no closer. Edwin Diaz had an adventurous ninth, striking out Yonder Alonso before plunking Edwin Encarnacion, balking pinch-runner Rajai Davis to second, and hitting Lonnie Chisenhall. Davis swiped third on the first pitch to Yan Gomes, and Chisenhall second on the last, but that was a swinging strike that left runners at second and third with two outs. Diaz struck out Tyler Naquin to save a 2-1 Opening Day win for the Mariners.
