MLB Opening Day stats

Stats from Day 1 with pitch clock:
* Average game was played in 2:44.
* 10/15 were played in less than 3 hours. (9/10 under 2:45).
* 5 shutouts certainly helped speed things up. But also, lots of pitchers (and mid-inning changes) are used this early in the season. Once that declines, almost every game should be 2:45 or less.
Amazingly, two games were played in 2:14
