Opening Day must be Koji Uehara's least favorite day of the year, but things change.
Yomiura Giants right-hander Koji Uehara watches the ball in Friday night's game against the Yokohama BayStars at Tokyo Dome on the Central League Opening Day. Uehara went the distance, giving up two runs. The Giants routed the BayStars 12-2.
Black magic, bad luck, BayStars -- nothing was going to ruin Uehara's night this time.
