The Associated Press WAShinGtOn » Benefiting from the decision to over- turn Ian Desmond's inside- the-park homer on replay review, the Atlanta Braves beat Washington 2-1 Friday, spoiling the Nationals' home opener and giving rookie manager Matt Williams his first loss. Desmond's shot down the left-field line in the fifth in - ning, which appeared to tie the game at 1-all, was switched to a ground-rule double after a five-minute delay after Braves man - ager Fredi Gonzalez re- quested the review. Des- mond was sent back to sec- ond base and wound up getting caught in a rundown while trying to steal. Washington did eventu - ally even the score, but At- lanta's Chris Johnson deliv- ered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth off reliever Ty- ler Clippard (0-1). PhiLLieS 7, CUBS 2 » Chase Utley hit a two-run homer and an RBI single, helping Philadelphia win the opener of Wrigley Field's 100th an - niversary season. John Mayberry Jr. also had a two-run drive for his fourth career pinch- hit homer as Philadelphia bounced back after drop - ping the last two games of its opening series in Texas. rOCKieS 12, DiAMOnDBACKS 2 » Charlie Blackmon tied a team record with six hits and drove in five runs. Blackmon finished 6 for 6 with three doubles and a two-run homer. The only other Rockies player with six hits in a game was An - dres Galarraga against Houston on July 3, 1995. PirAteS 12, CArDinALS 2 » Pedro Alvarez homered twice and scored three runs as Pittsburgh beat St. Louis. Alvarez hit long solo shots in the second and fourth off Shelby Miller (0-1) and broke open a close game with a rare stolen base he converted into a run. MetS 4, reDS 3 » Lucas Duda hit a pair of two-run homers only hours after the Mets gave him the starting job at first base, and New York beat Cincinnati behind Jen - rry Mejia for its first victory of the season. MArLinS 8, PADreS 2 » Giancarlo Stanton hit a long home run to help lead Mi- ami to a win over San Diego. Interleague BOStOn » Lyle Overbay hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning of the first game at Fenway Park since Boston won the World Se - ries last October. That sparked a four-run inning against Edward Mu- jica that lifted Milwaukee to a win. American League rAYS 8, rAnGerS 1 » Sean Rodriguez homered and tied a career-high with four RBIs, Jake Odorizzi got his first major league win, and Tampa Bay routed Texas. Rodriguez got a two-out RBI in the first when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and hit a three-run homer during the third that put the Rays up 4-0. AnGeLS 11, AStrOS 1 » Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Kole Calhoun all homered to help Los Angeles get its first win of the season with a rout of Houston. Garrett Richards (1-0) al - lowed one run on three hits with five walks. YAnKeeS 7, BLUe JAYS 3 » Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven innings to win his ma- jor league debut and Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits for New York. tiGe rS 10, OriOLe S 4 » Miguel Cabrera homered in the eighth inning for his 2,000th career hit. inDiAnS 7, tWinS 2 » Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, two bat- ters after Yan Gomes con- nected for a solo shot. rOYALS 7, White SOX 5 » Alex Gordon drove in three runs and Jeremy Guthrie (1- 0) pitched effectively into the sixth inning. BASeBALL rOUnDUP Braves top Nats, spoil their home opener Desmond's homer overturned on replay review CIF Division IV champion- ships. In those three years he's steadily improved his stat totals in points per game and rebounds per game, leading the section last season in both catego - ries with 19.2 and 11.7, re- spectively. Perhaps more impressive than those stats, however, is how he achieved them. Shoemaker finished his final high school season shooting 56 percent from the field, which also was good enough to top the section. On the defensive end, the senior's height and long arms forced opposing guards and post players to think twice about driving to the basket. It seemed at least once per game Shoe - maker would connect with a crowd-pleasing block, which sometimes sent the ball into a teammate's arms, and sometimes was snatched out of the air by Shoemaker himself. In his wins, Shoemaker was quick to acknowledge the play of his teammates, and when the Cardinals suit up again later this year, he'll quickly be missed. The Cards bulldozed their way through the 2013- 14 season. Shoemaker and the Cardinals captured a Northern Athletic League title after earning an un - defeated 8-0 league record, and finished the year with an overall record of 24-5. In Corning's four post - season games, Shoemaker averaged almost 16 points per game, which led his team, and tallied 19 points and 13 rebounds in the Cards' 60-57 state playoff loss against Encina Prep. It should be noted that while Shoemaker's play could almost be regarded as a mathematical constant, he also was surrounded with players that grew with him. Nick Hoag, listed at 6-3, 215 pounds and also a three- year varsity player, aver - aged about 12 points and eight rebounds last sea- son. Chayce Maday, a 5-10 senior guard, steadily in- creased his point totals over the last three years, and averaged about eight points last season. Maday and Hoag, in Corning's 56- 49 section championship win over Gridley at Chico State in March, scored 21 and 15 points, respectively. Shoemaker followed with 12 points on 50-percent shoot - ing, and nabbed nine re- bounds in the process. The Cards, under the di- rection of longtime Corn- ing coach Bill Mache, were a disciplined and selfless team. The coaching staff often went along with what was working, and Shoe - maker, with his cool, mea- sured and methodical play, was always ready to go to work. Shoemaker FrOM PAGe 1 second on the error, and Brandon Belt singled in an- other run. Activated from the dis- abled list before the game, Kemp wasn't originally in the lineup but was inserted after Yasiel Puig arrived late to the ballpark and was removed from the bat - ting order. Pitcher Ryan Vogelsong's bloop single scored Belt and Brandon Hicks after an in - tentional walk to Joaquin Arias, extending San Fran- cisco's lead to 5-0. Angel Pa- gan's RBI single tacked on another run. Hicks had an RBI dou- ble and Arias added an RBI single to make it 8-0 in the second. Giants manager Bruce Bochy successfully chal- lenged a call in the seventh after Hanley Ramirez sin- gled leading off and was called safe in stealing sec- ond. Second base umpire Marty Foster's call was overturned under the new video review rule. Ryu and four relievers combined to hold the Gi - ants hitless over the final 7 1/3 innings. The Dodgers got back- to-back homers by Adrian Gonzalez and Andre Ethier leading off the fourth to trail 8-2. Kemp doubled in a run in the fifth, his first hit in his season debut after rehab - bing left ankle and shoul- der injuries. Vogelsong allowed seven hits and four runs in four- plus innings.
