Pitchers with 13+ K's, 0 R and 0 BB on Opening Day: - MacKenzie Gore (today vs. Phillies) - Bob Gibson (1967) That's it.

MacKenzie Gore has 12 K's through 5 IP. Obviously, he won't go the distance on Opening Day, but to put the 12 K's in perspective, here's how many K's each pitcher had through 5 IP in the only 20-K games in MLB history: Scherzer: 11 R. Johnson: 11 Wood: 11 Clemens: 12 Clemens: 12

For all the legendary players in Yankees history ... Austin Wells is the first Yankee EVER to hit a leadoff home run on Opening Day.

And there it is. Trea Turner will get the first plate appearance of the season for the 2025 Phillies. Turner 6 Harper 3 Bohm 5 Schwarber DH Realmuto 2 Kepler 7 Castellanos 9 Stott 4 Marsh 8 Wheeler RHP

Matt Strahm has a "little bit of a sore shoulder." He hasn't pitched since Wednesday, when his velo was down a bit and he allowed 4 runs in 2/3 IP -- but Rob Thomson said tests were clean and there's no concern. "Nothing wrong; we're just going to back him off for a few days."

Cristopher Sanchez's average fastball velocity today was 97.0 mph. It was 96.9 mph last week vs. the O's. Yes, it's only Spring Training, but ... his highest avg velo last spring was 94.4 mph. His highest in any outing (spring, reg. season, playoffs) was 95.9 mph.

Rushing touchdowns … Philadelphia Eagles today: 7 Dallas Cowboys all season: 6

Through 3 quarters, Jalen Hurts has a higher completion percentage, more passing yards, same amount of passing TDs, one more rushing TD and a higher passer rating than Jayden Daniels — and his team has an 11-point lead. You certainly would not guess that based on the broadcast.

Hard to believe this isn’t a different game with Benjamin Morrison healthy — not to mention Rylie Mills up front.

That’s the play Notre Dame had done so well to take away. Will Howard to Jeremiah Smth will just about let Ohio State run the is out. Gutsy comeback by Notre Dame.

ESPN cutting to the kid’s dad after Notre Dame kicker Mitch Jeter misses a FG is nasty work. Do better.

This ended up potentially being the difference in the game. Led to an Eagles FG. Rams would have been kicking 36-yard FG to send it to OT instead of going for it on 4th & 10.

I know the refs give a count when it hits '0' before they call delay of game but https://t.co/fo8zC0D7Nk

Guess there’s too much snow for the refs to see the play clock? Hit 0 well before the snap on Eagles’ 4th down conversion. Big break on that drive — likely decide to punt if it’s called.

“I like this call by the Phillies.” - Tom Brady Poor guy still has to wait another month for pitchers and catchers to report.

Jahan Dotson just had more receptions (1) on the Eagles’ opening drive than all Penn State wide receivers had combined against Notre Dame.
