It’s been a good day of baseball so far. Ian Happ hit the first pitch of the season out of the park, and the Cubs went on to an 8-4 win over the Marlins. The Mets offense showed the right mix of selectivity and aggressiveness, and Noah Syndergaard looked healthy as New York beat the Cardinals 9-4.
There were exciting games, too. The Orioles blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth, but Adam Jones beat the Twins with a walk-off home run in the 11th inning, as the Orioles won 3-2. The Rays overcame a 4-0 deficit in the eighth inning to beat the Red Sox 6-4. The White Sox were down 4-0 after facing four batters, but hit six home runs, three by Matt Davidson, as they beat the Royals 14-7. The Phillies led the Braves 5-0 in the sixth, but allowed the game to be tied in the eighth, then Nick Markakis hit a three-run homer to win it in the bottom of the ninth as the Braves take the game 8-5.
Milwaukee and San Diego are in the 12th inning after the Padres tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, and the Angels and Athletics are in the 11th tied at five.
Finally, Giancarlo Stanton hit a double and two home runs as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 6-1, and Houston started their title defense with an easy 4-1 win over the Rangers. George Springer led that game with a home run.
Update: The Brewers beat the Padres 2-1 in twelve innings.
