When we talk about this Dodger team, it's World
Series or bust and the addition of Otani gives them
three mvps at the top of the lineup, Michaels
in truth, hasn't retired a hitter. The only
out comes on the base running mistake by Otani.
It's a man at third with one out for Freddie
Freeman. Dodgers take a 1 to 0 lead.
He's on deck on the first pitch and slams.
That was his second and he has reached base in
10 plate appearances. Otani walks their first three and
they're just as strong as any team in baseball in
his first time up, sends one to deep center
field while we talked about the top three hitters.
What else would you talk about? Second time through
the order? They have reached base all six times
. One of the things Bob the Dodgers wanted to
do, they know they had most of the starting
rotation, they're paying him to be an ace this
year. You got a good look at what makes
glass so tough. You got to be aware of
that nineties fastball around the chest area when he comes
with that overhand curveball pitching like a kind of a
nightmare here for E Cortez. Tough first inning location
wasn't great after two innings, all of a sudden
he started the back door, his cut her a
little bit and after the way the first two innings
went, it didn't look that good. He's going
to go to sleep saying I gave the Yankees what
we needed tonight. The bases are loaded with nobody
out and here comes one line in the right field
. That is a base hit, one run scores
. Soto's first hit is a Yankee drives in a
run. The Yankees are on the board. It's
4 to 1 Astros Cabrera singled and scored in the
fifth. He's also struck out deep to right field
off the bat of Oswaldo, the Wizard of Oz
and the Astros have the tying run in scoring position
and the winning run at first with one out for
Kyle Tucker. There's a base hit to right.
Ulster. Oh, here's the throw from so here's
the play he and so got rid of it for
the second out. So they are going to challenge
the block and the play at the plate. The
call stands runners out there you go out of the
way and a is 1 to 4 round it to
short, they should do it and it does the
Yankees win by four. He is the new ace
of the Baltimore Orioles Corbin Burns looks pretty good and
orange and white Mike Trout bats for the first time
fly ball in the left center field by Trout sitting
back, Hayes near the wall, that ball is
gone. Mike Trout is hit the first home run
of the season one bad into the season. He
has a new Angels record. Here's Santander and he
gets all of this one to left field back.
It goes opening day. Palm 10 strikeouts now and
15 straight batters retired. It's been untouchable 11 strikeouts
for Corbett Burns in his Oriole debut, Cedric Mullins
, one of the two Orioles starters without a hit
in the game. Mullins cranks it into center field
, Cedric Mullins toward the wall 11 to 1 on
a three run. Cedric Mullins blast. What Garcia
did in the postseason last year was David Ortiz Mastrini
trying to come through swings and fouls it or just
a swing and a miss a swing and a miss
and they're trying to score. He is talking to
the home plate umpire like it was a foul ball
. Yes, that's a foul ball and they didn't
call it that it back would be awfully nice for
Jonah to end this thing moves back. Has Yani
Diaz the reigning batting champion in the American League in
the box with the Rays and that's the way the
season begins for the Rays. Blue Jays will go
second time through New York. George Springer lifts it
to left. It's gone. Well, that didn't
take long nine up nine down first time through the
order, but springer jumps all over one that he
likes and he ties the game. You have no
one on and leaves it for Vlad Guerrero junior deep
center le absolute to straight away center. That's got
to feel so good for him on opening day with
the kind of season he is looking to have with
this team this year. Gel Jor bats. Third
, gel swings one high hits one deep. This
one is long gone to field. It's a hit
parade going on right now by the games that the
Diamondbacks have just set a modern day major league record
. A 14 run inning on opening day will count
to Lee with two outs here in the fifth inning
swing and there's a liner in the center field,
it's sinking and it falls base hit. Jung Ho
Lee gets his first major league hit and hoping for
a win right now. They have retied this game
3 to 3 1st and third with nobody out.
Nabi Padres, Xander Bogaerts 1st and 3rd. Now
we won away and that'll bring up to, to
be set out guards. Well, Padres six,
now you bring the infield in at all four positions
. Ibanez reaches out to stab it to center field
, Robert back on it. The Tigers are on
the board. Scoble really just showing off his arsenal
. Robert did not hit it square another 123 inning
for Scoble who retired eight in a row 5 to
4 as we start the inning by law to left
field for the wall to the cruise missile. O'neil
Cruz launches his first missile of the year to tie
it at five. So on opening day, we've
got free baseball coming your way as Jared Triolo comes
up with two on and two outs and in the
right center field of base hit Triolo delivers with two
outs. A wild one in Miami Martini was one
of those guys in camp battling for one of the
extra roster spots as spring went along. Option.
Yes and comes to 23 Martini to right center right
. A double Royce Lewis. Welcome to 2024.
The stage. Certainly not too big. The lights
, definitely not too bright start of season had a
great day. Can he make it even better here
, Buxton scores. Corre is safe. It's 4
to 1 twins here in the ninth inning. Good
job of putting the ball in play for one capital
one, a two run shot o'neil is a part
of some pretty incredible history. He has homered on
opening day in four straight openers and time. Hi
opening days in a row. Welcome to the history
books, Tyler o'neill dominant Shane Bieber who has struck
out 11 batters here on opening night, Shane Bieber
. It only took 83 pitches to blank Oakland through
six innings. Here's Jose Ramirez swung on, felt
it deep right field. It's off the wall,
he hammered it and an RB I triple by Jose
Ramirez for more on these and other stories. Keep
it locked at mlb.com. It's baseball everywhere.
