Sale is done after 3 IP. Velazquez coming in.
3 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3 HR, 76/45.

Gonzales is now done. He gave up nine hits over 5+ innings, yet just 3 runs allowed so far. Roenis Elias, acquired by the Sox with Carson Smith in exchange for Wade Miley/Jonathan Aro in 2015, is now on for Seattle to face Benintendi.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 1:19:55 AM

Devers just swung/missed at a pitch that hit him high on the forearm, just above the elbow.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 1:26:29 AM

Not a highlight reel at-bat for Devers, who struck out swinging vs Elias on three pitches, all whiffs.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 1:28:02 AM

Hembree walked 2 and hit a batter in Arizona on Tuesday.
Comes in today and issues a four-pitch walk with the bases loaded.by Pete Abraham via twitter 3/29/2019 1:47:40 AM -
Today marks the sixth time since 1908 that the Sox have allowed 10+ runs on Opening Day. They last did so in 2002 (12-11 loss to Toronto).by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 1:59:49 AM

The Sox allowed as many as 5 homers just once in 2018 (7/1/18 vs the Yankees). The 12 runs allowed are tied for the second most on Opening Day in the last 100 years, surpassed only by a 15-run abomination in 1950.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 2:20:15 AM

Instant Analysis: Sox, Sale open title defense with a thud. For the first time as a starter in his Red Sox career, Sale didn’t get a swing/miss on a 4-seam fastball. bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/… via @BostonGlobeby Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 2:52:54 AM

Cora: Sale is find physically. He ‘was ready to pitch’ despite limited spring workload. Says it was just a bad outing largely due to lack of fastball command. He says velo was similar to first start of ‘18by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 3:00:01 AM

Red Sox pitching coach Dana LeVangie thought Chris Sale was falling out of his mechanics on his slider (front side coming open too early) and fastball, impacting velo and command. His thoughts on Sale's velocity: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2zDZ9JUgAARwIo.jpg

By "same person last year," LeVangie meant his velocity on Thursday was consistent with the start of the 2018 season.by Alex Speier via twitter 3/29/2019 4:00:36 AM

The #RedSox opened the season with a 12-4 loss that was somehow worse than the score indicated. On a day when everything went wrong:
