1-6, 5th in AL East
Ramirez the walk-off hero in Boston (1:04)

Matt Marrone ESPN.com 

Red Sox slugger Hanley Ramirez added a little bit of levity to an exciting finish following his walk-off hit against the Rays on Opening Day. After his bases-loaded fly in the 12th won the game, Ramirez led his teammates on a chase in shallow right field as he attempted to dodge getting doused at frigid Fenway Park. "It warmed me up a little bit, that sprint right there," Ramirez said. Knowing he couldn't outrun his teammates — and not wanting anyone to get hurt — Ramirez said he quickly decided to "just stop and celebrate."

Red Sox rally late, beat Rays 3-2 in 12th for 6th win in row

Hanley Ramirez blooped a bases-loaded fly ball over the drawn-in outfield in right to break a 12th-inning tie and the Boston Red Sox, who rallied from a two-run deficit in the ninth, beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 to win their home opener at Fenway Park...

Scott Lauber ESPN Staff Writer 

In what could have been a dramatic ending to the 107th opener at Fenway Park, a video review upheld a call on the field that Jackie Bradley Jr. was out at first base on a bases-loaded grounder in the bottom of the ninth. The Red Sox scored twice in the ninth to tie the game. Then, in a strange play, Rays second baseman Daniel Robertson opted to throw to first rather than get the force at second. It was a close play, but the replay didn't show conclusive evidence that Bradley beat the throw. And so, the game moves into the 10th inning.

It's toasty warm here in the Fenway Park press box, but you don't care about that. Of greater interest: As the Red Sox grounds crew gets the field ready for Opening Day — David Price is on the hill for the home team against the visiting Rays at 2:05 ET — it's a brisk 32 degrees in Boston. Good news: Forecast says it'll creep over 40 by first pitch!
