BOSTON — Hanley Ramirez delivered a walk-off RBI single to right field with one out in the 12th inning as the Boston Red Sox came back to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in their home opener Thursday. Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled off Rays reliever Andrew Kittredge (0-2) to lead off the bottom of the 12th inning. Christian Vazquez’s sacrifice bunt moved Bradley to third and both Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi walked to set up Ramirez’s heroics. Ramirez and Xander Bogaerts each drove in a run in the ninth for Boston, which won its sixth straight game after opening the season with a 6-4 loss at Tampa Bay. The Red Sox then won three in a row over the Rays to cap the season-opening series. Matt Duffy hit a two-run blast for his first homer of the season for Tampa Bay, which dropped its sixth straight after coming from four runs down to beat Boston in the opener. The Rays have been outscored 27-11 during their skid. Mets 8, Nationals 2 Jay Bruce hit a grand slam for visiting New York, which also got homers from Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto, as it defeated Washington. The three home runs gave the Mets seven consecutive runs in Washington’s home opener. Conforto was playing in his first game of the season after recovering from shoulder surgery, and the home run his first hit of 2018. All of that power helped Jacob deGrom (2-0) win for the second time in two starts. He allowed two runs on four hits in six innings. Washington starter Stephen Strasburg (1-1) gave up four runs on five hits, including two of the homers, in six innings. Tigers 9, White Sox 7 (10 innings) Detroit center fielder Leonys Martin and third baseman Jeimer Candelario had RBIs in the 10th inning and the Tigers scored five runs in their last two at-bats to spoil Chicago’s home opener. Niko Goodrum hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning and Victor Martinez doubled in Nicholas Castellanos to cap a three-run rally that tied the game at 7 off White Sox closer Joakim Soria. Goodrum’s homer was the first of his career. Mikie Mahtook singled to open the 10th inning off Gregory Infante (0-1) before Jose Iglesias walked. Mahtook took third on Dixon Machado’s groundout and scored on Martin’s grounder to second base for an 8-7 lead, the Tigers’ first of the game. Orioles 5, Yankees 2 Adam Jones sparked a five-run rally in the top of the seventh inning with a two-run homer off Masahiro Tanaka as visiting Baltimore opened a four-game series in New York with a win. Jones gave the Orioles a 2-1 lead by lifting a 1-1 slider off the top of the left-center field wall, just out of the reach of Giancarlo Stanton, who attempted a leaping catch. After singles from Tim Beckham and Colby Rasmus, Anthony Santander followed with an RBI double off Chad Green and Trey Mancini highlighted a three-hit night by capping the inning with a two-run single. Cubs 8, Brewers 0 Jon Lester threw six scoreless innings and Chicago feasted on some sloppy defense by host Milwaukee, which committed three errors. Rockies 3, Padres 0 Ryan McMahon drew a four-pitch, bases-loaded walk from Padres closer Brad Hand to break up a scoreless tie in the top of the ninth inning and DJ LeMahieu followed with a two-run, two-out single to lead visiting Colorado over San Diego. Phillies 5, Marlins 0 Maikel Franco had three hits and four RBIs, Nick Pivetta pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and Philadelphia won its home opener over Miami. Pirates 5, Reds 2 Gregory Polanco continued his strong start with his second multi-RBI game of the season, and Steven Brault allowed one run in five innings to lead Pittsburgh over Cincinnati. Diamondbacks 3, Cardinals 1 David Peralta had two hits and two RBIs and left-hander Robbie Ray struck out nine in six innings as Arizona spoiled St. Louis’ home opener. Twins 4, Mariners 2 Mitch Garver hit his first career homer — a solo shot in the bottom of the seventh — to snap a tie and lift Minnesota to a come-from-behind victory over visiting Seattle. Rangers 6, A’s 3 Texas took advantage of right-hander Daniel Mengden’s throwing error to score four runs in the second inning, which helped catapult it past host Oakland. — Reuters
