The Red Sox have won each of their last 3 Opening Day games: 4/6/15 at PHI (W, 8-), 4/5/16 at CLE (W, 6-), and 4/3/17 vs. PIT (W, 5-3)...They last began 4 consecutive seasons with a win from This is the 77th time that the Red Sox have opened the regular season on the road ( ), having done so in 19 of the last 3 seasons ( ). FORWARD MARCH: This is the 4th time the Red Sox are playing an Opening Day game in March...They also opened seasons before April in 3 (3/31 at TB), 8 (3/5 vs. OAK at Tokyo Dome), and 14 (3/31 at BAL). SOX & RAYS: The Red Sox and Rays begin a 19-game season series today, marking the 3rd time they have faced each other on Opening Day (also 3 at TB & 9 at BOS)...7 of the Sox first 9 games of 18 will be against the Rays. The Sox have won each of their last season series against the Rays (1-7 in 16 and 11-8 in 17). WIN, DANCE, REPEAT: The Red Sox started LF Andrew Benintendi, CF Jackie Bradley Jr., and RF Mookie Betts on Opening Day in 17...The last time BOS started the same OF alignment on O.D. in consecutive seasons was -3 (LF Manny Ramirez, CF Johnny Damon, RF Trot Nixon). SAFE BETTS: Mookie Betts homered on Opening Day in 15 (at PHI) and 16 (at CLE)...The only Red Sox to homer in 3 or more Opening Day games are Carl Yastrzemski (5), Dwight Evans (4), Ted Williams (3), Jim Rice (3), David Ortiz (3), and Dustin Pedroia (3). OPENING ACT: Chris Sale is making his 4th career Opening Day start (also 13-14, 16 with CWS)...In his previous 3, he went 3- with a.86 ERA, all quality starts (6 ER/. ). HIGHEST SO/9. VS. A SINGLE OPPONENT (19-17) RK. PITCHER OPPONENT SO/9. 1. Chris Sale Rays Randy Johnson Braves Randy Johnson Reds 13.9 *Min. 75. CLOSING TIME: Craig Kimbrel did not allow a hit or a run in 9 games against the Rays in 17 (9., 3 SO, 1 BB). Kimbrel has pitched in 4 Opening Day games with BOS (16-17) and ATL (11, 13), earning 3 saves and allowing only 1 hit in 4. scoreless innings. FAMILIAR FACES: Xander Bogaerts has been the Red Sox Opening Day starting SS in each of the last 4 seasons (14-17)...Only 6 Red Sox have made 5+ straight O.D. starts at the position (see table at right). This is the 4th Red Sox Opening Day roster for Mookie Betts, Brock Holt, Rick Porcello, and Hanley Ramirez (all 15-18), as well as Jackie Bradley Jr. (13, 16-18). WHO S ON SECOND?: This will be the 1st time since 6 the Red Sox are starting someone other than Dustin Pedroia at B on Opening Day, snapping an 11-year streak...in the 11 previous seasons from , the Sox had 1 different players start at B on Opening Day. The only other Red Sox with an Opening Day streak of 11+ years at any single position is Carl Yastrzemski (1 in LF, ). Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts were the Sox Opening Day starters at B and SS in each season from According to Elias, the only other Sox to start 4 straight Opening Day games as a B/SS tandem are B Bobby Doerr/SS Joe Cronin (5 years, ) and B Hobe Ferris/SS Freddy Parent (5 years, 191-5). HOT CORNER: At 1 years and 156 days old today, Rafael Devers would become the Sox nd-youngest Opening Day starter at 3B...Luis Alvarado was 1 years and 8 days old when the Sox opened the 197 season at NYY. The last player to make an Opening Day start at 3B at 1 years old or younger was Manny Machado in 13. THE FIRST TIMERS: 5 Red Sox are making their 1st career appearance on an Opening Day roster: 3B Rafael Devers, LHP Brian Johnson, LHP Bobby Poyner, RHP Hector Velázquez, and RHP Marcus Walden...15 players on the Red Sox 5-man roster were also on the club s 17 Opening Day roster. WELCOME ABOARD: J.D. Martinez is the only player on the Sox 4-man roster who wasn t in the organization in 17. Despite appearing in only 119 games, Martinez set career highs in 17 with 45 HR, 14 RBI, and a 1.66 OPS between DET and ARI...Among players with 3+ AB, he led the majors in AB/HR (9.6) and AB/RBI (4.15). NON-ROSTER NOTABLES: RHP Marcus Walden and LHP Bobby Poyner attended spring training as non-roster invitees. Walden s only prior appearance on an active ML roster came in 14 when TOR purchased his contract from Triple-A Buffalo on 4/5...He did not appear in a game before being optioned back to Buffalo on 4/9. Poyner has never pitched above the Double-A level... Since 1981, the only other Red Sox minor leaguers to make the Opening Day roster without experience above Double-A are Shea Hillenbrand (1), Jackie Bradley Jr. (13), and Ben Taylor (17). GRAND OPENING: Hanley Ramirez is the only active player with multiple Opening Day grand slams (4/6/9 with FLA vs. WSH; 4/6/15 with BOS at PHI)...No player since at least 1913 has hit as many as 3 Opening Day grand slams...the only other Opening Day grand slams in Red Sox history were hit by Jack Clark (4/8/91 at TOR) and Carlton Fisk (4/6/73 vs. NYY). SPRING REVIEW: The Red Sox posted the majors best spring training record at -9-1 (.71), their 1st time doing so since 1998 (-8,.714)...The Sox went 14-1 in their final 15 games, winning 9 straight from 3/1-1. That is the highest spring training win total in Sox history (including wins against MLB teams only)...their 4 overall wins including games against Northeastern Univ. and Boston College are also the most in BOS history. CORA VALUES: Alex Cora was named the 47th manager in Red Sox history on 1//17, agreeing to a 3-year contract through (club option for 1)...At 4 years and 16 days old, Cora is the majors 3rd-youngest active manager (TB s Kevin Cash and SD s Andy Green are both 4 years old). Cora is only the nd Puerto Rican-born manager in MLB history...edwin Rodriguez managed the Marlins for parts of the 1-11 seasons. LONG DIVISION: The Red Sox won the AL East title in 16 and 17, marking the first time since the club finished in 1st place in consecutive years...bos has never finished in 1st place in 3 consecutive seasons. The only clubs to win the AL East in 3 or more consecutive years are the Orioles, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Yankees. WINNING WAYS: The Red Sox have won 93 games in each of the last seasons...bos has won 9+ games in 11 of 16 seasons under the current ownership group (Henry-Werner; -present), tied with NYY for the most 9-win seasons in that time...in 1 of those seasons, the Sox won 93+ games.
