New York Yankees showed that they can still win with a small disaster in their chin, while Tyler O’Neill de Baltimore could be the best player on Earth during the first game of the season.
And to anyone’s surprise, the Japanese star Shohei Ohtani delivered bigger hits for the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, since the big baseball led their national opening day with 14 games on Thursday.
Carlos Rodón from New York, wearing a very careful short beard, yielded only one race over 5 1/3 tickets while strucking out seven, leading the Yankees to a 4-2 victory About the Milwaukee brewers. In February, the Yankees announced that They were finishing their 49 -year -old ban In beards.
O’Neill was deep for a sixth consecutive opening day to extend his own record, connecting for a three -run homer In the victory of the Orioles 12-2 About the Toronto Blue Jays. It finished 3 by 3 with two walks and three races scored.
Even more special, the Canadian could play in his country of origin for the first time on the day of the inauguration.
Ohtani hit a solitary home run and scored twice for the Dodgers, which improved 3-0 this season With a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers beat the puppies twice in Tokyo to open the season on March 18 and 19.
Here are some more outstanding aspects of the first day of the six -month MLB season:
Austin Wells became the first receiver to reach an initial homer on the day of the inauguration, causing the Yankees for victory over the brewers.
It was a good day in New York after a difficult spring in Florida.
The Yankees were beaten with injuries during the game of the Pomelo League, losing the As Gerrit Cole for the season after learning that he needed a surgery of Tommy John. Slugger Giancarlo Stanton (Codos Dolores), the rookie launcher of the year Luis Gil (Latin tension), the right Clarke Schmidt (shoulder fatigue) and the picture player DJ Lemahieu (voltage of the left veal) also begin the season in the injured list.
None of that mattered against the brewers. New closest devin Williams – An acquired All-Star of the brewers in an December exchange -I worked in a jam loaded with bases and without out to seal the victory.
The Jonrero who extended O’Neill’s records was just a facet of Baltimore’s powerful offense. The Orioles were deep six times in their unequal victory over the tiles, including two home runs for the Adley Rutschman receiver and the central gardener Cedric Mullins.
Rutschman’s power screen is a good indicator that he is ready to recover from a slightly disappointing 2024 season when he hit .250 with 19 home runs. The two times All-Star and former General Selection No. 1 ended with three hits.
Chicago’s white socks took advantage of a very necessary new beginning, surpassing Los Angeles Angels 8-1.
The white socks were leaving a record 41-121 last seasonwhich established the record of the major leagues after 1900 in a season. Chicago is still expected to be in reconstruction mode this summer, but at least for a day, the white socks looked like an improved group.
Sean Burke launched six innings without goals, Andrew Benintendi, Lenyn Sosa and Austin Slater hit home runs and Will Venable won their MLB management debut.
For the Angels, it was his 11th loss of the inauguration in 12 years.
Nolan Arenado is still in St. Louis and is still a very good baseball player.
Arenado hit a solitary home run In the 5-3 victory of the cardinals over the Minnesota Twinsgreeting the local crowd with a curtain call.
The cardinals tried to change to eight times third stars during the low season, but nothing worked, so the 33 -year -old is back in the hot corner of the Busch stadium, at least for the moment.
There is no way that Los Angeles Dodgers go 162-0 this season, right?
Good?
Well, they are 159 victories after beating the Tigers on Thursday. The Big Budget dodgers have so far delivered at the beginning of the season, wearing the favorite to win consecutive world series titles for the first time since the Yankees won three followed from 1998 to 2000.
