Texas Dispatched, 6-2, by Boston
The 2025 season did not get off to quite the start the Texas Rangers had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Boston Red Sox at Globe Life Field. The final score was 6-2. Starting Pitcher Zack Wheeler was the top performer for Boston. Wheeler got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 6 hits and walked 0 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run.

Boston used the hitting of Jorge Polanco to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Red Sox on top, 5-1. For the game, Polanco had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Wheeler called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
