O91裸聊视频橬eill homered in his fifth straight opening day game to set a major league record and helped the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Thursday night.
Rafael Devers homered and doubled off Seattle ace Luis Castillo, but it was O91裸聊视频橬eill91裸聊视频檚 homer on the first pitch from Cody Bolton in the eighth inning that gave the Red Sox a 6-4 lead and made history.
O91裸聊视频橬eill homered the previous four opening days with St. Louis, tying him with Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58). He was a top prospect in the Mariners organization before being traded to St. Louis in 2017.
And it came in front of a large contingent of family and friends from British Columbia who made the trip down to see O91裸聊视频橬eill91裸聊视频檚 first game in a Red Sox uniform.

The homers and some solid pitching helped Boston manager Alex Cora enjoy his first opening day win as a manager.
Devers hit an opposite-field two-run homer on an elevated fastball from Castillo in the third inning and his one-out double in the fifth helped lead to another run for Boston. Connor Wong added a two-out RBI single in the sixth on a pitch well off the plate.

Boston starter Brayan Bello (1-0) pitched five innings and limited the damage to Mitch Haniger91裸聊视频檚 two-run homer after he spent last season with San Francisco. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for the save after recording 29 last season for Boston.
Dylan Moore91裸聊视频檚 pinch-hit, two run homer in the seventh inning pulled Seattle within 5-4, but that91裸聊视频檚 as close as Seattle would get. Two of Seattle91裸聊视频檚 big offseason additions, Jorge Polanco and Mitch Garver, both experienced some of the frustration that comes with playing at home early in the season. Each hit deep fly balls that likely would have been homers in their former parks, but instead became outs.
91裸聊视频淭hey got some hits with two outs, RBI hits, and those are huge. They91裸聊视频檙e difference makers,91裸聊视频� Seattle manager Scott Servais said. 91裸聊视频淣ot the way we wanted to start. We have a lot of games to go. We have a good team.91裸聊视频�
Castillo (0-1) labored through five innings as his control got away from him at times, missing with a number of borderline pitches. Castillo, who needed 91 pitches to get through the fifth, gave up four runs and six hits.
