Opening day was supposed to kick off baseball season Thursday with a full slate of 15 Major League Basebal games, but two were called off, one due to Covid-19 and the other to rain.

The Washington Nationals’ game against the New York Mets was postponed after at least three Nationals players tested positive for Covid. Everyone else is self-quarantining.

Meanwhile, the game between the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox was a more standard postponement, with the game rained out in Boston.

 

Chilly Temps During Opening Day

Some of Thursday’s season-opening Major League Baseball games were played in chilly temperatures, including in Detroit, where the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera hit the first home run of the new season in snow against the Cleveland Indians.

It was hard for Cabrera to see through the snow when he hit his shot in the first inning, leading him to slide into second base because he didn’t know if the ball had made it over the outfield wall.
