PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Opening Day is finally here! The new-look Phillies toppled the Braves 10-4 Thursday at Citizens Bank Park and you won't want to miss a thing.
What a start! Andrew McCutchen launched a homer to deep center in the Phillies' first at-bat of the season to put them on top 1-0. Aaron Nola did his part in the top of the inning, sitting down the Braves on just 10 pitches.

Maybe it had something to do with his awesome Phillie Phanatic-inspired kicks.
Bryce Harper is a confirmed "Philly guy."
