Cubs Rout Marlins 10-3 in opener as Clark thrives
Chicago tops Florida 10-3 behind 11 strikeouts from Mark Clark and four RBIs by Kevin Orie. Scott Servais and Sammy Sosa contribute key hits as Cubs begin 1998 with momentum after last year's 0-14 start. Attendance dips after opening-day sellout.

Vinny Castilla blasted his third homer of the season and John Thomson worked eight innings as Phoenix built on strong pitching. Dante Bichette collected four hits driving in three runs as he went 8 for 10 over two games, with Larry Walker scoring three times as Colorado totaled 16 hits. In Houston, Brad Ausmus lined a tying RBI single and a run scored on a passed ball to spark a comeback that denied Orel Hershiser his first win in his Giants debut.
