In the season opener, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Texas Rangers 5-3, with Nathan Eovaldi allowing all five runs before being pulled in the fifth inning. Despite a poor ERA, Eovaldi struck out seven and had moments of effectiveness, but two home runs, including a three-run shot by Alec Bohm, sealed his fate. The Rangers struggled offensively against Cristopher Sanchez until late-game contributions from Jake Burger and Danny Jansen brought them within striking distance. Ultimately, they fell short, leaving them with 161 games remaining in the season.
