"A 1-5 record before setting foot in front of the Green Monster is not what Red Sox Nation waited all winter to see. The San Diego Padres will do their best to add to the misery, but at 2-4 things haven't gone that much better for the Friars record wise."
"Michael King will get things started for the Padres coming in off a 5-inning 1-run, 4-walk, 6-strikeout game against the Detroit Tigers. He's opposed by Sonny Gray, making his second start for Boston."
"Randy Vázquez gets the call on Saturday. He held the Tigers scoreless for 6.0 innings with an 8:3 K:BB which might have you raise an eyebrow based on the Astros carving up Boston like a turkey."
"Closing things out for San Diego is old friend Walker Buehler. The less said about his time in Boston the better."
The Red Sox enter Opening Day with a disappointing 1-5 record, reflecting missed opportunities in previous games. The Padres, also struggling at 2-4, will be the opponents. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the festivities. Michael King starts for the Padres, while Sonny Gray makes his second start for Boston. Randy Vázquez is set to pitch on Saturday, having shown promise in previous outings. Walker Buehler, a former Red Sox player, will close for San Diego, adding to the narrative of the matchup.
