SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON: Today is the 49th consecutive day the Red Sox have been in Florida since pitchers and catchers reported to spring training on 2/13, with several players and coaches having arrived prior to that date...The Sox will return to Boston following tomorrow night’s game, with an off day scheduled for Wednesday. CLOSE CALLS: After suffering a 6-4 loss to the Rays on Opening Day, the Red Sox defeated TB by scores of 1-0, 3-2, and 2-1 from Friday-Sunday...This is the 1st time since 1941 each of the Sox’ first 3 wins of a season were by 1 run... There has never been a season in which each of the Sox’ first 4 wins of a season came by 1 run. START ME UP: Red Sox starting pitchers are 3-0 with a 0.75 ERA and a .458 opponent OPS (24.0 IP, 2 ER, 16 H). LONGEST SCORELESS STREAKS TO BEGIN A SEASON, RED SOX STARTING PITCHERS (1901-2018) YEAR INNINGS PITCHERS 1919 20.0 Mays (9.0), Jones (9.0), Mays (2.0) 1940 19.0 Grove (9.0), Bagby (9.0), Wilson (1.0) 2018 18.0 Sale (6.0), Price (7.0), Porcello (5.0) (Source: Elias Sports Bureau) YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE: According to Elias, this is the 1st time in the franchise’s 118-year history that Red Sox start- ing pitchers have allowed 1 or 0 runs in each of the club’s first 4 games of a season (Sale-0, Price-0, Porcello-1, Velázquez-1). Prior to BOS and LAD this year, the last team whose starters gave up 1 or 0 runs in each of the first 4 games of a season was the 2011 Orioles. The last time Sox starters pitched 5.0+ innings and allowed 1 or 0 runs in 4 straight starts at any point in a season was May 2012 (Doubront-1, Bard-1, Lester-1, Beckett-0). MAKE NO MISTAKE: The Red Sox committed 0 errors in their first 4 games, the club’s longest streak to begin a sea- son since 2013 (first 7)...BOS is 1 of 6 teams without an error through the opening weekend (also CIN, CLE, KC, LAA, MIN). ALL OF THE FIRSTS: In the Red Sox’ 4-game series at Tropicana Field, Alex Cora earned his 1st wins as a ma- jor league manager, pitchers Bobby Poyner and Marcus Walden made their ML debuts, J.D. Martinez recorded his 1st hits as a member of the Red Sox, and Joe Kelly earned his 1st career save in his 100th ML relief appearance. LEADING OFF: Against NL teams in 2017, Mookie Betts batted .382 with a 1.159 OPS (29-for-76, 11 2B, 5 HR)...His 16 XBH were the most ever by a Red Sox player in Inter- league play in a single season. Betts has hit safely in 21 of his last 22 games at NL ballparks, including each of his last 11...In 2017, 11 of Betts’ 17 Interleague hits on the road went for extra bases (17-for-39, 6 2B, 5 HR, .436 AVG, 1.463 OPS). CLOSING TIME: Since joining the Red Sox prior to the 2016 season, Craig Kimbrel has yet to allow a run or walk a batter in Interleague play, spanning 17 appearances...In those games, he is 9-for-9 in save opportunities with 20 SO and a .107 opponent AVG (6-for-56). In his career, Kimbrel is 37-for-37 in Interleague save opportunities...That is the longest saves streak in Interleague history. Kimbrel has converted each of his last 12 save opportunities overall (began 8/5/17), tied for the AL’s longest active streak (also OAK’s Blake Treinen). MADE IN MIAMI: Red Sox OF/DH J.D. Martinez, assistant hitting coach Andy Barkett, and manager Alex Cora were born in Miami...Cora attended the University of Miami, helping lead the Hurricanes to the College World Series in each of his 3 years (1994-96); he was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2006. SOX & MARLINS: The Red Sox and Marlins begin a 4-game season series tonight...Following 2 games in Miami, these teams will meet for a 2-game set in Boston from 8/28-29. The Sox own a 22-12 edge in the all-time series, with these teams squaring off each year from 1997-2001 and again in 2003, ‘06, ‘09, ‘12, and ‘15. NATIONAL AFFAIR: The Red Sox are scheduled to play 20 games against the NL East in 2018 (ATL-6, MIA-4, PHI- 4, NYM-3, WSH-3)...The Sox are 33-10 (.767) against the NL since 9/4/15, having gone 16-4 (.800) in 2017...Last year, the Sox tied MLB’s single-season record for most Interleague wins (6th time; 2nd time for BOS). At 227-156 (.593), the Sox own the majors’ highest all-time winning percentage in Interleague play since its inception in 1997...Since 2003, the Sox’ .650 Interleague win % (182-98) ranks well ahead of the 2nd-best mark in that time (NYY; .596, 167-113). RIGHT AT HOME: Brian Johnson pitched and played 1st base at the University of Florida from 2010-12, batting .324 (155-for-478) with 15 HR in his career...As a junior in 2012, he won the John Olerud 2-Way Player of the Year Award... His only ML at-bats came on 6/14/17 at PHI, when he went 0-for-2 (groundout, popout). The last BOS pitcher to homer was Josh Beckett on 6/14/09 at PHI...The last Sox pitchers to record a hit were Chris Sale and David Price, both in 2017. The Red Sox went 5-0 in Johnson’s starts in 2017...He threw the club’s lone shutout of the season on 5/27 vs. SEA (9.0 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 8 SO). HANLEY’S HOMECOMING: Hanley Ramirez, who resides in Miami, played for the Marlins from 2006-12...He was named NL Rookie of the Year in 2006, started at SS for the NL All-Star team in 3 straight years from 2008-10, won the NL batting title in 2009, and earned 2 Silver Sluggers (2008-09). Ramirez still ranks among Marlins all-time leaders in several categories, including hits (2nd, 1,103), runs (2nd, 666), doubles (2nd, 232), HR (3rd, 148), RBI (5th, 482), steals (2nd, 230), and games (5th, 943). BIG FISH: Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski spent 10 years with the Marlins, beginning in September 1991 when he was hired as the franchise’s first- ever EVP and General Manager...While at the helm, he con- structed the Marlins team that won the 1997 World Series. It was in Miami that Dombrowski first worked with current Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry, who was the Marlins Chairman and sole owner from January 1999 until February 2002. HYERS’ HOMERS: Red Sox hitting coach Tim Hyers hit 2 HR in his major league career, both for the Marlins on 6/6/99 at Tropicana Field...He played 1 season with FLA—his final season in the majors—after being signed by then-general manager Dave Dombrowski in the winter of 1998. ‘X’TRA BASES: In his first 3 games, Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4 (2 2B), 2-for-4 (2 2B), and 3-for-4 (HR, 2B)...He is the only Red Sox player ever to record multiple XBH in each of his first 3 games of a season (source: Elias)...The only other ma- jor leaguer to do that since 1900 is Adrian Gonzalez (2015). Bogaerts leads the majors in doubles (5) and XBH (6)... The only other AL player with 8+ hits is Jose Altuve (9). DEVERS’ ENDEAVORS: Rafael Devers has recorded an RBI in each of his 3 games this season (4 RBI total)...In- cluding the 2017 postseason, he has driven in at least 1 run in 9 of his last 10 games, including each of his last 5. At 21 years and 160 days old today, Devers is the 2nd- youngest player to appear in a game this season (ATL 2B Ozzie Albies is 75 days younger)...Cardinals RHP Jordan Hicks is the only other 21-year-old to appear in a game.
