Did Cruz hear the crowd chanting his name? "It was a shock, but thanks to the fans for the support. That was really special. I think, like I've said before, I made the right call to come and be part of this organization and this town." Could Cruz think of a better O's debut? "I don't think so. I tried to dream about a good start. The dream came true." Zach Britton on his outing and the win: "It was my first time coming in as a reliever in the big leagues. I was definitely nervous. Some balls were a little up, but I was able to locate some pitches when I got behind. Was able to throw some good sinkers. Defense was outstanding as always and Tommy (Hunter) shuts the door. It was a great outing for everybody pitching-wise and Nelly came up big with that home run. "The fans showing up today was big. The O in the anthem, that started it off for us. Great to get that win on opening day in front of the crowd." Ryan Flaherty on the victory: "It was a good game all-around. Little pitching, little hitting, little defense. You have to bring your A game when you play these guys and we did that today." Chris Davis on beating Boston to start the year: "That is huge. Anytime you start at home, you want to give the fans a good showing and a good win. It was a good all-around win. "The adrenaline was going early, but everyone settled down after that. We know this is a tough division. You get in a one-run game, you will probably see that a lot this year in the AL East." Davis on Hunter closing it out: "That was huge. I know he expects a lot out of himself and to be in that situation, to see him step up to the challenge, is huge. I think it's a sign of things to come for him."
