Adrian Gonzalez stole second in the third inning off C.J. Wilson and Yorvit Torrealba. That matches his career TOTAL. Prior to today, Gonzalez had exactly one steal in 858 career games, in 2009 with the Padres.
Jon Lester has granted at least four runs in 10 of his last 17 April starts. In the previous nine, he hasn’t made it out of the 6th inning. He’s 3-5 in the last three Aprils combined.

The only other Ranger with a leadoff homer in an opener was Oddibe McDowell in 1987 at Baltimore. … It was the third straight year Boston opened the season against the defending AL champion. The Red Sox beat the New York Yankees last year and Tampa Bay in the 2009 opener. … Just more than two hours before the first pitch, $15 standing-room only tickets were listed for $54 on StubHub, and the cheapest seat was $59 in an upper reserved area that would usually be $17.
