April 18

The New York Yankees, in their third game in the new Yankee Stadium, lost to the Cleveland Indians 22-4. This was aided by another terrible start by pitcher Chien Ming Wang, who only lasted 1.1 innings, giving up eight runs. The Indians scored 14 runs in the second inning alone, a MLB record for the most runs in the second inning. The Indians were the team who started out 0-5 to begin the season, but have gone 4-3 since. The Yankees record stands at 6-6 after the loss.

The NBA playoffs started, with three road wins coming on this day. The first one was a shocker to a lot of people. The seventh seeded Chicago Bulls beat the second seeded Boston Celtics 105-103 in overtime to take a 1-0 series lead. The Cleveland Cavaliers easily beat the Detroit Pistons 102-84, with the Cavaliers being the only home team to win on the playoff opening day. The Dallas Mavericks shocked the San Antonio Spurs, beating them 105-97 to take a early series lead and the Houston Rockets surprisingly handled the Portlan Trail Blazers, beating them 108-81.
