    • There might be two MLB games already in the books for 2024 thanks to the Seoul Series, but make no mistake: This is Opening Day.

    Thursday will officially open up the season, with most of the 30 teams in action — but not all, as several teams announced weather-related postponements. Still, there will be shortage of excitement.

    Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers will make their stateside debut after playing two games against the Padres in South Korea to begin the 2024 season. But Ohtani won’t be the only new face in a new place.

    Juan Soto will slot into a lineup with Aaron Judge and the Yankees as they face the Astros. And in Baltimore, Corbin Burnes will make his Oriole debut after an offseason trade from the Brewers. 

    In the primetime slot, the reigning champion Rangers will face off against the Cubs. That game should have no shortage of excitement as Wyatt Langford makes his MLB debut for Texas alongside stars Corey Seager and Evan Carter, while the Cubs will bring back Cody Bellinger to a lineup is taking aim at an NL Central title.

    Opening Day results, highlights from Thursday’s game

    Angels at Orioles

    4:38 p.m.: Make it four RBIs for Santander. He blasts a two-run homer to center as the Orioles extend their lead to 7-1.

    4:01 p.m.: Hays singles to the hole in short to put runners on first and second, and Sandoval’s start is over. Jose Suarez will replace him on the mound.

    3:59 p.m.: Santander hits a sacrifice fly to push the Orioles’ lead to 5-1.

    3:55 p.m.: Now Mountcastle flips a base hit into shallow right to put runners on the corners. This Orioles lineup is cooking early.

    3:53 p.m.: Make it back-to-back two-run innings for the Orioles as Rutschman drives a base hit over the middle to score both Urias and Mateo and push the lead to 4-1.

    3:51 p.m.: The Orioles are threatening again in the bottom of the second. Ramon Urias reaches on an error by  Rendon and Jorge Mateo sneaks a double down the left-field line to put two in scoring position for Henderson. 

    3:34 p.m.: Hays struck out, then Jordan Westburg lines a base hit into center to drive in Rutschman and give the Orioles a 2-1 lead.

    3:30 p.m.: Santander hits a slow roller to third. Rendon throws to second to try for the double play, but Santander is safe at first on the fielder’s choice. Austin Hays batting now with runners in the corner and one out.

    3:28 p.m.: Mountcastle walks and the Orioles have the bases loaded with no one out for Anthony Santander.

    3:26 p.m.: Gunnar Henderson walks to lead off the bottom of the first, then Adley Rutschman bloops a single into shallow right to put runners on the corners with no one out for Ryan Mountcastle.

    3:19 p.m.: Mike Trout has the first home run of the season as he launches a slider from Burnes 402 feet to left-center to give the Angels a 1-0 lead, but Burnes gets the next out to end the half inning.

    3:16 p.m.: Burnes strikes out Rendon to begin the game.

    3:15 p.m.: Burnes’ first pitch to Anthony Rendon is a fastball on the inside corner for a strike, and the 2024 MLB season is underway.

    2:00 p.m.: Was there ever any doubt that Mike Trout would be amped up for another opening day?

    First pitch should be fired in Charm City in about an hour.

    1:15 p.m.: Here’s a look at the two lineups ahead of Los Angeles and Baltimore’s opening-day clash. Patrick Sandoval takes the ball for the Halos, while Corbin Burnes starts his first career game in Orioles’ colors.

    12:00 p.m.: Fourth-grader Aubree Singletary will lead the processions on Thursday, performing the ceremonial opening day first pitch at Camden Yards. She is the daughter of a postal worker, a background shared with Baltimore co-owner David Rubenstein.

    11:30 a.m.: There’s no guarantee Thursday’s scheduled contest between the Angels and Orioles will go on as scheduled. There’s plenty of inclement weather swirling around Charm City ahead of the game’s scheduled 3:05 p.m. ET first pitch. For what it’s worth, it appears that such conditions should taper off as the day wears on. But certainly bears noting.

    11:00 a.m.: The Orioles will hold a minute of silence for the six migrant construction workers presumed dead after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore, per reports.

    Nationals at Reds

    4:41 p.m.: Nick Martini blasts a no-doubt shot to right field to extend Cincinnati’s lead to 3-0.

    4:40 p.m.: Jake Fraley reaches second after an infield single and a stolen base, then races around to score on a bloop single by Spencer Steer to shallow right to put the Reds up 1-0.

    3 p.m.: An hour out, here’s a look at the starting lineups for both the Nationals and the Reds:

    Giants at Padres

    4:43 p.m.: Nick Ahmed gets the Giants on the board by doubling to left, scoring Michael Conforto from first to the Giants the early 1-0 lead.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Giants and Padres:

    Cardinals at Dodgers

    4:30 p.m.: Max Muncy comes a few feet shy of a homer, but the fly ball is deep enough to score Freeman from third and push the Dodgers’ lead to 2-0.

    4:27 p.m.: Freddie Freeman hits a hard grounder past second for an RBI single to put the Dodgers on the board to start the game.

    4:24 p.m.: Mookie Betts leads off the bottom of the first with a walk, and Shohei Ohtani doubles to right. However, he keeps going with Betts staying at third and is tagged out in a rundown.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Cardinals and Dodgers:

    1:30 p.m.: Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers have already kicked off their regular-season, having faced off against the Padres in the Seoul Series. However, this is the first time L.A. is playing back on home soil. It’ll be interesting to see the reaction Ohtani gets from Dodgers faithful amid the backdrop of the betting scandal involving his former interpreter and longtime friend, Ippei Mizuhara.

    Blue Jays at Rays

    4:17 p.m.: The Rays strike first as Yandy Diaz ropes a low liner to left field that clears the fences for a leadoff homer to start Opening Day in Tampa.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Blue Jays and Rays:

    Twins at Royals

    4:22 p.m.: The Royals don’t take long to answer the Lewis homer. Maikel Garcia leads off the half inning for Kansas City with a home run to left to tie the game.

    4:13 p.m.: The Royce Lewis breakout is already beginning. He takes Cole Ragans deep to put the Twins on the board in the top of the first.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Twins and Royals:

    Tigers at White Sox

    4:44 p.m.: The Tigers strike first with Andy Ibanez lifting a sacrifice fly to center to score Javier Baez and put Detroit up 1-0.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Tigers and White Sox:

    Pirates at Marlins

    4:49 p.m.: The Pirates respond quickly to the two-spot by the Marlins. Connor Joe walked and Bryan Reynolds let him walk home as he hit a two-run homer to left to tie the game at two each.

    4:38 p.m.: Tim Anderson makes an impression early with the Marlins. After a fielder’s choice scores Jazz Chisholm, Anderson doubles to right to score Jake Burger and give Miami the 2-0 lead.

    3 p.m.: Here’s a look at the lineups from today’s game between the Pirates and Marlins:

    Yankees at Astros

    4:48 p.m.: Jake Meyers hits the first homer of the season for the Astros, sending a deep fly to left out of the No. 9 spot to push Houston’s lead to 4-0.

    4:36 p.m.: Yainer Diaz tacks on another run with a line drive single to right as the Astros move to a three-run lead before the end of the first.
