And for the second night in a row, the Diamondbacks were in danger of not being hit. Left Padres Sean Manaea did not allow a shot against Arizona after seven innings, but David Peralta broke the offer without a shot against striker Tim Hill to start the eighth inning. See Friday’s full scoreboard:

And now for takeaways from Friday action.

The Padres are flirting with another no

Padres left-hander Sean Manaea, who was acquired just last weekend as part of a four-player trade with the Oakland Athletics, kept the Diamondbacks safe in seven innings on Friday night. Alas, Manaea’s replacement, the soothing Tim Hill, delivered a single to David Peralta, or the first winner to face in the eighth inning. If Hill (and the rest of the Padres bullpen) had finished with no, it would be the second in the history of the Padres franchise. The first, incidentally, was thrown just last season by San Diego’s expected Saturday winger, right-hander Joe Musgrove. (Musgrove kept the Texas Rangers out of the success column last April, April 9, or almost a year since.) The Padres had also kept the Diamondbacks away from the top spot for more than six innings on Thursday night, before Arizona rallied and won a home defeat by Seth Beer.

Donaldson, Yankees save Cole

It was not a good start to the day for Gerrit Cole. Yankees ace and reigning runner-up Cy Young delivered three runs to rival Red Sox before recording an exit on Friday, including abandoning a two-run home run to Rafael Devers. Cole calmed down and made four appearances, and home runs by Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu sent the game into extra innings.
At the bottom of the 11th, the new addition of Josh Donaldson gave his team the victory with a ground ball just back in the middle, scoring the automatic runner from second place. It was New York’s first Opening Day victory since 1957.
“The resilience of the team will lead to good things in the future,” Donaldson said after the game. “… To show some resilience and to counterattack and stay there – the overall victory of the team, bullpen did a great job – we hope it will lead to great things in the future.”
After Cole’s brief start, seven Yankees relievers kept the Red Sox on two runs in seven races, and one of them was the automatic runner in the 10th inning. The Boston bullpen was spotted for three trips to five innings, and that was with Garrett Whitlock traveling to his first two innings without much trouble.

Scherzer was overshadowed by the incident by clearing benches

Max Scherzer made his Mets debut on Friday against his old team, the Nationals. Unfortunately, this can be bypassed-but not unless you’re a techie who knows what he’s doing. In the fifth inning, Mets stopper Francisco Lindor was hit in the helmet by a stadium by Steve Cishek. Lidor came down and the benches and bathrobes were cleared, with New York coach Buck Swalter being among the most affected by the Mets staff. Take a look: Lidor left the game while Cisek was sent off by the referees. It should be noted that Lindor was the fourth Mets player to be hit from the pitch in this series.
By the way, Scherzer did his part, recording a quality start by making six innings and allowing three runs on three hits and one walk. He also hit six hits and threw 53 of his 80 pitches for hits.

The Rangers bomb Berríos, but the Blue Jays return

Before the padlock, the Blue Jays signed the right-wing José Berríos to one. Things can only get better from here. On Friday, the Rangers spotted Berio for four trips at the start of Opening Day, and he recorded just one exit. Six of the seven strikers Berríos faced reached the base. This includes Brad Miller’s first hostage.
I guess the good news is that Berríos did not have the worst start to Open Day in the history of the Blue Jays. Mark Bomback has this distinction. He allowed six runs and recorded just one out against the Brewers in 1982. Three years ago, Tom Underwood was charged with nine runs in just 1 2/3 innings on Start Day. Toronto had some Dirt Day dirt in its history.
Even so, the Blue Jays reacted and took the lead in the sixth period during the 10-8 victory. This is the second consecutive season that the Rangers participate in an Opening Day game in which a key player could not get out of the first inning. Last year, right-hander Kyle Gibson from Texas allowed five runs while recording only one. It’s a lot more fun when you’re at the professional end of the Opening Day beatdown.

Ray strong in M’s debut

Robbie Ray, winner of American League Award Cy Young, debuted with the Mariners on Friday, months after signing a five-year, $ 115 million contract.
Ray was in charge of closing the Gemini lineup and he managed to do just that. Along the way, he became the fourth pitcher in Seattle in franchise history to make seven innings and allow one run or less on Start Day, according to the club, on a team that includes Félix Hernández (who did it five times during during his illustrious career), Randy Johnson and Mike Moore.
Ray’s entire line saw him deliver three hits and four rides. He also struck five blows. It’s his turn to make his next start next Wednesday on the road against the White Sox in a possible playoff preview.

The Phillies series responds to the advertising campaign

The Phillies spent a lot of money this off-season to acquire Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos in order to improve the line-up around Bryce Harper. It’s too early to judge these moves, but they looked smart in their first game against Athletics.
Philadelphia had 11 hits and nine assists, including a handful against key A player Frankie Monta on Friday afternoon. The Phillies’ top five winners – Schwarber, JT Realmuto, Harper, Castellanos and Rhys Hoskins – combined for seven hits, six runs and four runs.
Schwarber even received treatment with a curtain after he hit his home with his first bat in town:
The Phillies will continue their three-game winning streak with the Athletics on Saturday.

Departure day

The second day of the MLB season saw three teams record away victories, mimicking the Diamondbacks’ victory from behind on the opening night.
The Tigers were 3-0 behind the White Sox at the bottom of the sixth period, and fell by two coming in the eighth. Detroit tied the game with a single Miguel Cabrera. The Tigers then won the game in ninth place, with Eric Haase drawing at home and Javier Báez winning the series in a memorable way after a three-pointer from newcomer Austin Meadows.
We covered the Yankees in a different subtitle, but they threw the Red Sox away thanks to Josh Donaldson.
Then there were the Giants, who lost a two-row lead in the ninth inning against the Marlins. San Francisco will force the extras with a Thairo Estrada at home. Austin Slater then scored Darin Rouf at the bottom of the 10th for the win.
