ST. LOUIS Mark McGwire’s
aching back was the only bad news for
the St. Louis Cardinals on Opening Day.
McGwire, who missed the last two
spring training games because of a lower
back strain, was a late lineup scratch
Monday. McGwire reinjured the back
running before the Cardinals’ 7-1 victo
ry' against the Chicago Cubs.
“He zig-zagged, and one of the zigs
he felt a catch back there, and he knew
it,” manager Tony La Russa said.
McGwire left Busch Stadium in the
third inning and underwent an MRI.
The test showed no disc problems.
His replacement at first base, Craig
Paquette, lined a three-run homer in the
first inning, and his replacement in the
cleanup slot, Fernando Tatis, also had an

Peterson finished with 21 points on 7-

Cleaves was 7-for-11 from the field -

Galarraga Makes Smashing Comeback
ATLANTA - Andres Galarraga and
the Atlanta Braves could not have come
up with a better script.
Galarraga, out last season because of
a cancerous tumor in his back, made a
triumphant return by hitting a go-ahead
solo homer in the seventh inning
Monday that led the Braves to a 2-0 vic
tory against the Colorado Rockies.
Tuesday, April 4, 2000
seeded team to reach the Final Four, fin
ished 33-for-59 from the field (56 per
cent), the best against Florida’s frantic
pace by far in the tournament. The pre
vious best was 43 percent by top-ranked
Duke in the regional semifinals.
Michigan State never seemed fazed
by the pressure, beating it early with
long passes. The Spartans were their
usual efficient selves when they did run
their halfcourt game, getting good looks
and crashing the boards when they
missed.
Andruw Jones followed his 400-foot
drive with another shot off Pedro Astacio.
“It’s like a movie,” Galarraga said.
“It’s something really special.”
Galarraga’s homer helped Greg
Maddux improve to 6-0 on opening day.
Maddux allowed five hits in 7 2/3
innings and struck out six batters.
Griffey's Debut Halted by Rain
CINCINNATI - In rapid succession,
Ken Griffey Jr. received an overwhelm
ing pregame ovation from the largest
regular-season crowd in stadium history,
two empty at-bats and one of the most
unusual endings to an opener -a 3-3 tie
with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Griffey popped up in the first inning.
In the third, he grounded out to short
stop Mark Loretta.
“In your first at bat, if you’re not ner
vous, you’d be in trouble," Griffey said.
He wouldn’t get a third chance. Rain
had slowed the game to a crawl - sev
eral runners were on all fours after slip
ping down -and eventually brought the
tarp. The game will be replayed
Tuesday.
