Kameron Misner walks it off on the first pitch he sees for a 3-2 Rays Opening Day win

The first MLB regular-season game played in Tampa, Florida definitely had its fireworks, and then some.

In the traditional pomp and circumstance of Opening Day, saxophonist BK Jackson performed the national anthem, accompanied by the MacDill Air Force Base color guard and flyover, the first in team history.

Colorado would strike first, as Ezequiel Tovar doubled in the first run of the season off of Ryan Pepiot in the top of the third.

In the top of the fourth, Kyle Farmer delivered a sacrifice fly to extend the Rockies lead to 2.

In the bottom of the 5th, Josh Lowe singled and exited the game with left oblique discomfort.

Pepiot had a stellar outing on the day, going six innings and giving up one earned run and striking out eight.

On the flip side of things, left handed Kyle Freeland allowed only two hits over six frames while striking out seven.

From there, the Rockies’ bullpen gave glimpses of what they did last year in having the league’s highest ERA, as the the Rays immediately tied the ballgame.

Jonathan Aranda hit a sacrifice fly, and Jose Caballero singled to knot the game at two.

The Rays bullpen would go on to shut the door, with Hunter Bigge, Mason Montgomery, and Pete Fairbanks deliver shutout innings in the seventh, eighth, and ninth, respectively.

In the top half of the eighth, Kameron Misner replaced Jose Caballero as a defensive replacement.

And in the bottom of the ninth, Misner became the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off home run on Opening Day for his first home run, according to OptaStats.

The 351-foot blast was deposited into the right field stands, and sent the sold-out crowd of 10,046 into a frenzy at Steinbrenner Field.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's losing streak continued on Wednesday.

Hours after Republicans in Wisconsin lost a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin where Musk spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money, shares of his flagship electric car company fell upon news that it had badly missed Wall Street estimates for the number of vehicles it had delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

As reported by Market Watch, Tesla revealed that "it delivered more than 336,000 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 387,000 deliveries a year ago."

To put this number into context, Market Watch notes that it "was well below the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of 404,000 vehicles" and it "was also lower than the 'whisper' number, or what Wall Street was quietly expecting, with even the most bullish analyst projecting a number in the 360,000 range."

Although Tesla blamed the disappointing deliveries on what Market Watch describes as "the changeover to refreshed Model Y production lines" that "led to several weeks of lost production," it's also a reality that the company has been the target of a concerted boycott campaign led by progressive groups to protest Musk's role as the head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

Sales of Tesla in Europe have fallen off a cliff in recent months, as car buyers on that continent have revolted against Musk's support for far-right political parties such as Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.
