Lindor went down and the benches and bullpens cleared, with New York manager Buck Showalter being among the most aggrieved Mets personnel. In the fifth inning, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Steve Cishek. Unfortunately, his start might not be what people take away from the game. Max Scherzer made his Mets debut on Friday, going up against his old club, the Nationals. Scherzer overshadowed by benches-clearing incident Boston's bullpen was tagged for three runs in five innings, and that was with Garrett Whitlock cruising through his first two innings without much issue. To show some resiliency and fight back and hang in there - total team win, bullpen did a great job - hopefully it leads to great things in the future."įollowing Cole's short start, seven Yankees relievers held the Red Sox to two runs in seven innings, and one of the two was the automatic runner in the 10th inning. "The team resiliency is going to lead to good things in the future," Donaldson said after the game. It was New York's first walk-off win on Opening Day since 1957. In the bottom of the 11th, new addition Josh Donaldson gave his team the win with a ground ball single back up the middle, scoring the automatic runner from second. Cole settled down and got through four innings, and home runs by Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu sent the game to extra innings. The Yankees ace and reigning Cy Young runner-up surrendered three runs to the rival Red Sox before recording an out Friday, including giving up a towering two-run home run to Rafael Devers. It was not a good start to Opening Day for Gerrit Cole. The Padres had also kept the Diamondbacks out of the hit column for more than six innings on Thursday night before Arizona rallied and won on a walk-off home-run by Seth Beer. (Musgrove kept the Texas Rangers out of the hit column last April 9, or almost a year to the day.) The first, coincidentally, was thrown just last season by San Diego's expected Saturday starter, right-hander Joe Musgrove. Had Hill (and the rest of the Padres bullpen) finished off the no-no, it would have been the second in Padres franchise history. Alas, Manaea's replacement, reliever Tim Hill, surrendered a single to David Peralta, or the first hitter he faced in the eighth inning. Padres left-hander Sean Manaea, acquired just last weekend as part of a four-player trade with the Oakland Athletics, held the Diamondbacks hitless through seven innings on Friday night.
