Blue Jays rookie catcher J.P. Arencibia hit a pair of home runs on Friday in the team's 13-3 season-opening win over the Twins.
It was the first Opening Night of Arencibia's big league career.
"I had chills the whole ceremony, but I came in and I told [bench coach Don] Wakamatsu, you know what, oddly enough I'm not nervous," Arencibia said.
"I told him it's a credit of our work, going back there and just trying to relax and really letting the game come to me. I told him I just felt prepared, and that was the biggest thing for me."
Arencibia became the first Blue Jays rookie to homer on Opening Day since Carlos Delgado did it in 1994.
He also became just the sixth player in the history of the franchise to record a multihomer game on the first day of the season.
