300 Game Season's first major league pitcher's duel of 2015 went to Dallas Keuchel and the Astros 2-0.
Keuchel, a southpaw coming off an excellent 2014, tossed seven scoreless innings and out-pitched Corey Kluber, though not by much. The reigning AL Cy Young winner pitched into the eighth and had a no-hitter until Jose Altuve blooped a single to center with two outs in the sixth. That was a first pitch from Kluber and Altuve didn't waste any time stealing second, going on the first pitch to George Springer. Springer took a bit of a hanger on a 1-2 pitch and roped it into left field for a go-ahead single and the only run the hosts would need.
It was Houston's first opening day shut out since Roy Oswalt beat Florida 1-0 on April 3, 2006.

* We had our first spill of the season Monday night. This young man went after an eighth inning foul ball and dropped his popcorn, which you never like to see.
