FOR THE 117TH TIME: Boston begins its 117th AL season today vs. PIT...The Red Sox are 57-58-1 all-time on Opening Day (excluding G2 of doubleheaders in 1903, 1948, and 1982).

STAYING HOME: This is the 41st time that the Red Sox have opened the regular season at home, snapping a streak of 6 consecutive years opening on the road...Including this year, Boston has opened at home in only 4 of the last 22 seasons beginning in 1996 (also 2002, ‘09, ‘10).

The Red Sox are 23-17 in Opening Day games at home, having won each of their last 2 and 5 of their last 6.

NATIONAL AFFAIR: Today’s game marks only the 2nd time the Red Sox have opened a season against an NL team, having also done so in 2015 (at PHI, W 8-0).

The Sox own MLB’s best Interleague record since 2003 (.638, 166-94), well ahead of the 2nd-best mark in that time (NYY; .585, 152-108)...The Sox are 211-152 (.581) all-time in Interleague action, just a half game behind NYY (.583, 211-151) for the majors’ best record.

The Sox have won each of their last 5 Interleague games at Fenway Park, as well as 14 of their last 16 (.875) and 78 of their last 110 (.709) since 5/22/05.

SOX & BUCS: The Sox are 5-7 all-time against the Pirates, including 1-5 since the start of 2011...BOS has hosted the Bucs at Fenway only once prior to 2017, going 2-1 in 2005.

The only postseason meeting between these franchises came in 1903, when the Boston Americans defeated the Pirates, 5 games to 3, in the 1st modern World Series between the NL and AL.

OPENING ACT: Rick Porcello is making the 1st Opening Day start of his career...He has started his club’s 4th game of the season 6 times (2009-12, ‘14, ‘16), the 3rd game once (2013), and the 2nd game once (2015).Porcello won the 2016 AL Cy Young Award after leading the majors in wins (22) and SO/BB ratio (5.91)...The Red Sox went 25-8 in his starts last season, including 17-3 in his final 20...BOS was 15-1 in his home starts.Porcello has pitched 6.0+ innings in each of his last 18 starts, the majors’ longest active streak.

PEDEY AND YAZ: Dustin Pedroia is eyeing an 11th straight Opening Day start, all at 2B since 2007...The only Red Sox with an Opening Day streak that long at any single posi-tion is Carl Yastrzemski, who started 12 straight years in LF from 1961-72...Jason Varitek (C, 2000-09), Wade Boggs (3B, 1983-92), and Dwight Evans (RF, 1978-87) had 10-year streaks at their respective positions.

Only Bobby Doerr (13) has made more Opening Day starts at 2B for the Red Sox than Pedroia has.

THE FIRST TIMERS: This is the 1st career appearance on an Opening Day roster for 7 Red Sox: Andrew Benintendi, Heath Hembree, Eduardo Rodriguez, Robby Scott, Steve Selsky, Ben Taylor, and Christian Vazquez...Benintendi and Taylor were selected by the Red Sox less than 2 years ago in the 2015 June Draft (7th and 201st overall, respectively).

Taylor is the only player on the Sox’ active roster without any major league service time...He is the 1st Red Sox player to make an O.D. roster as a non-roster invitee since Jackie Bradley Jr. in 2013, and the 1st Red Sox pitcher to do so since Scott Atchison, Vicente Padilla, and Justin Thomas in 2012.

14 players on the Red Sox’ 25-man roster were also on the club’s 2016 Opening Day roster.

HAVE WE BENINTRODUCED?: At 22 years and 271 days old, Andrew Benintendi would become the Red Sox’ young-est Opening Day starter in left field since Carl Yastrzemski in 1962 (22 years, 231 days).

KEYSTONE CONSISTENCY: Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts have been the Red Sox’ Opening Day starters at 2B and SS, respectively, in each of the last 3 years (2014-16)...According to Elias, the only Red Sox to start as many as 4 consecutive Opening Day games as a 2B/SS tandem are 2B Bobby Doerr/SS Joe Cronin (5 years, 1937-41) and 2B Hobe Ferris/SS Freddy Parent (5 years, 1901-05).

Prior to Pedroia and Bogaerts, no Red Sox 2B/SS tandem had started as many as 3 consecutive Opening Day games together since 2B Jerry Remy and SS Rick Burleson (1978-80).

SAFE BETTS: Mookie Betts homered on Opening Day in 2015 (at PHI) and 2016 (at CLE)...He is 1 of 7 Red Sox to go deep in consecutive years on Opening Day, but no BOS player has ever done so in 3 straight years...In fact, Betts has homered in all 4 “opening” games in his career, having also hit a HR in the Sox’ home openers in 2015 and 2016.

TRENDING UPWARD: BOS won 71 games in 2014, 78 in 2015, and 93 in 2016...Their 15-win improvement from 2015 to 2016 was the largest in the majors...BOS last in-creased its win total in 3 consecutive years from 2001-04 (82 in 2001, 93 in 2002, 95 in 2003, 98 in 2004).

BACK TO WORK: The Red Sox return each of their top 5 leaders in runs scored and each of their top 3 leaders in hits from a 2016 offense that paced the majors in runs (878), AVG (.282), OBP (.348), SLG (.461), and OPS (.810).

BETTS & BOGEY: Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts each have 388 hits since the start of 2015, tied for the majors’ 2nd-highest total in that time (Altuve-416).

THE REMY REPORT: Jerry Remy enters his 30th season broadcasting Red Sox games for NESN (1988-2017)...Remy was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2006.

TEAM OF STARS: 11 of the 25 players on the Red Sox’ ac-tive Opening Day roster have made at least 1 All-Star team (25 total selections)...4 of 13 position players have won a Silver Slugger and 3 have won a Gold Glove...The Sox also feature 3 Rookie of the Year honorees, the 2008 AL MVP (Pe-droia), and the 2016 AL Cy Young Award winner (Porcello).

In addition, David Price (10-day DL) won the 2012 AL Cy Young Award and is a 5-time All-Star...Drew Pomeranz (10-day DL) earned his 1st All-Star selection in 2016.

STREAKY BUSINESS: Mookie Betts did not strike out in his final 78 plate appearances of the 2016 regular season, beginning with his final PA on 9/2 vs. BAL...It is the longest such streak by a Red Sox since Wade Boggs went 107 PA without a strikeout in 1991 (source: Elias).

Robbie Ross Jr. has not allowed a HR to his last 163 left-handed hitters faced (last: Hosmer on 6/19/15 in KC).

The Sox have won each of their last 10 games in which Jackie Bradley Jr. hits at least 1 HR (began 7/29/16).

Mitch Moreland has not committed an error in his last 52 games at 1B (last: 7/31/16 for TEX vs. KC).

Joe Kelly begins the 2017 season with the majors’ longest active win streak (12-0 since 8/1/15).

Craig Kimbrel has converted each of his last 19 save chances since 6/4/16, the majors’ 2nd-longest active streak behind BAL’s Zach Britton (49).

SPRING REVIEW: The Red Sox finished their 2017 Grape-fruit League slate at 18-14-3, only their 6th time earning that many spring training wins in the last 45 years (1973-2017)...BOS led the GL in runs scored (201) and AVG (.285), while Sox pitchers paced the league with 306 SO.
