1 DOWN, 161 TO GO: Boston opened its 118th season yesterday with a 6-4 loss to the Rays...The Sox snapped a 3-game win streak in Opening Day games, moving to 58-59-1 all-time in season openers.

OPENING ACT: Chris Sale, who turns 29 years old today, allowed only 1 hit in 6.0 scoreless innings yesterday...The last pitchers to throw 6.0+ scoreless innings and allow no more than 1 hit on Opening Day were Clayton Kershaw (2016), Sonny Gray (2015), and Kevin Brown (1997)...No other Red Sox pitcher has done that since at least 1908.

INSIDE INFORMATION: Eduardo Núñez hit an inside-the-park HR in the 2nd inning yesterday...It was the 1st time in 50 years a Red Sox player hit an inside-the-parker on Opening Day (Carl Yastrzemski, 4/10/68 at DET).

Prior to Núñez, the last player to hit an inside-the-park HR on Opening Day was Stephen Drew (2010 vs. SD)...It was Núñez’s 2nd career inside-the-park HR (also 6/2/16 with MIN vs. TB).

The Red Sox’ last 2 inside-the-park homers came on 8/28/15 at NYM (Blake Swihart) and in Game 4 of the 2017 ALDS at HOU (Rafael Devers).

X FACTOR: Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 runs scored yesterday...Dating back to 2017, he has hit safely in 10 consecutive regular season games, the majors’ 3rd-longest active streak behind Aaron Judge (14) and Starling Marte (12).

Since the start of 2015, Bogaerts leads major league shortstops in hits (547) and runs scored (295).

WORLD TOUR: Each infielder in the Red Sox’ Opening Day starting lineup was born outside of the 50 United States: C Christian Vázquez (Puerto Rico), 1B Hanley Ramirez (Dominican Republic), 2B Eduardo Núñez (D.R.), SS Xander Bogaerts (Aruba), and 3B Rafael Devers (D.R.).

RHP Hector Velázquez (Mexico) and C Sandy Leon (Venezuela) were also born outside of the U.S.

YOUTH MOVEMENT: 6 players on the Sox’ Opening Day roster are 25 years old or younger: Rafael Devers (21), Andrew Benintendi (23), Mookie Betts (25), Xander Bogaerts (25), Blake Swihart (25), and Bobby Poyner (25).

Only 5 players on the Sox’ roster are 30+ years old: J.D. Martinez (30), Eduardo Núñez (30), Mitch Moreland (32), David Price (32), and Hanley Ramirez (34).

LOCALLY GROWN: 7 of the 9 hitters in the Red Sox’ Opening Day lineup were originally signed by BOS, in-cluding 4 draft picks (Vazquez-2008, Betts-2011, Brad-ley-2011, Benintendi-2015) and 3 international free agents (Ramirez-2000, Bogaerts-2009, Devers-2013).

12 players on the Sox’ Opening Day roster were originally signed by BOS as draft picks or international free agents, including 8 of 13 position players.

THE FIRST TIMERS: 5 Red Sox made their 1st career ap-pearance 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’ 25-man roster were also on the club’s 2017 Opening Day roster.

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 2014 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 entered 2018 having 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 (2001), Jackie Bradley Jr. (2013), and Ben Taylor (2017).

SOX & RAYS: The Red Sox and Rays continue a 19-game season series today (TB leads, 1-0)...7 of the Sox’ first 9 games of 2018 will be against the Rays.

The Sox have won each of their last 2 season series against the Rays (12-7 in 2016 and 11-8 in 2017).

PRICE CHECK: David Price is making his 1st start since 7/22/17 at LAA...He was placed on the 10-day DL on 7/25/17 with left elbow inflammation and pitched only in relief upon his return...In 7 relief appearances—including the postseason—he allowed only 8 hits in 15.1 scoreless innings (4 BB, 19 SO).

Price posted a 6.75 ERA in his first 7 starts with the Red Sox in 2016, but he is 19-11 with a 3.38 ERA (99 ER/263.1 IP) in 44 regular season outings (39 GS) with BOS since then.

HOMECOMING: David Price Price was selected by the Rays as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 June Draft...With TB, he won the 2012 AL Cy Young Award and was the runner-up in 2010.

In 6 games (5 starts) at Tropicana Field since being traded by the Rays to the Tigers on 7/31/14, Price is 1-3 with a 2.72 ERA and a .183 opponent AVG (36.1 IP, 24 H, 11 ER, 7 BB, 38 SO).

CLOSING TIME: Craig Kimbrel did not allow a hit or a run in 9 games against the Rays in 2017 (9.0 IP, 23 SO, 1 BB).

Kimbrel has converted each of his last 10 save opportunities (began 8/5/17), the AL’s 2nd-longest active streak behind OAK’s Blake Treinen (12).

LEADING OFF: At 25 years old, Mookie Betts already holds the Red Sox’ career records for leadoff HR (11) and multi-homer games as a leadoff hitter (7).

Betts is the only Red Sox ever to hit 3 HR in a game as a leadoff hitter (5/31/16 at BAL)...He is the only major leaguer ever with 5 HR in a 2-game span as a leadoff hitter (5/31-6/1/16).

Since the start of 2015, Betts leads AL leadoff hitters in hits (387), doubles (93), RBI (199), and runs (236).

WELCOME ABOARD: J.D. Martinez is the only player on the Sox’ 40-man roster who wasn’t in the organization in 2017.

Despite appearing in only 119 games, Martinez set career highs in 2017 with 45 HR, 104 RBI, and a 1.066 OPS between DET and ARI...Among players with 300+ AB, he led the majors in AB/HR (9.60) and AB/RBI (4.15).

SPRING REVIEW: The Red Sox posted the majors’ best spring training record at 22-9-1 (.710), their 1st time doing so since 1998 (20-8, .714)...The Sox went 14-1 in their final 15 games, winning 9 straight from 3/12-21.

That is the highest spring training win total in Sox history (including wins against MLB teams only)...Their 24 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 10/22/17, agreeing to a 3-year con-tract through 2020 (club option for 2021)...At 42, he is the majors’ 3rd-youngest active manager (TB’s Kevin Cash and SD’s Andy Green are both 40 years old).

Cora is only the 2nd Puerto Rican-born manager in MLB history...Edwin Rodriguez managed the Marlins for parts of the 2010-11 seasons.

LONG DIVISION: The Red Sox won the AL East title in 2016 and 2017, marking the first time since 1915-16 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 1969-71 Orioles, 1976-78 Yankees, 1991-93 Blue Jays, and 1998-2006 Yankees.
