Anthony Rizzo hits first pitch out

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo wasted little hitting his first home run on 2013 in Monday's season opener against the Pirates. He took the first pitch he saw from starter A.J. Burnett deep for a two-run shot in the opening frame.

Rizzo finished 1 for 4 in the 3-1 win.

"I don't really remember the pitch or where I hit it or whatever," Rizzo said. "It was just kind of blacked out there for a second but it was nice to get the win and get on a good note."
