Opening Day 2025: A Wild Ride!
Baseball's back, baby! And let me tell you, Opening Day 2025 didn't disappoint. Twenty-eight teams – that’s almost everyone! – kicked off the season with a flurry of home runs, nail-biting finishes, and enough drama to fill a whole season. It was wild.
Dodgers Still on Top, Yankees Get an Early Win
The Los Angeles Dodgers, everyone's favorites to repeat as champs, started strong. They squeaked out a 5-4 win against the Detroit Tigers. Shohei Ohtani, of course, hit another homer – is this guy even real? – but the real showstopper was Teoscar Hernandez's three-run blast. That was a game-changer. Meanwhile, the Yankees, fresh off their World Series appearance, edged out the Brewers 4-2. Austin Wells made history, becoming the first Yankee catcher to lead off with a home run. Can you believe it? And Devin Williams, their new closer, nailed the save in a super tense ninth inning.
Other Memorable Moments from Opening Day
But the Dodgers and Yankees weren't the only ones making headlines. Tyler O'Neill of the Orioles extended his incredible Opening Day home run streak to six years in a row! Seriously, the guy's a legend. Then there were the Cincinnati Reds. Hunter Greene showed some real team spirit, supporting Ian Gibaut after a blown save against the Giants. It's good to see that kind of camaraderie. The Houston Astros beat the Mets in Juan Soto's debut, which was a big deal. And the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres battled it out in a crazy extra-innings game. The Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu hit *two* home runs, leading his team to victory over the Rangers. And honestly, who saw Vinny Capra, a Brewers spring training star, hitting his first *ever* home run against the Yankees coming? And the White Sox totally shocked the Angels with an 8-1 win. What a day!
