Rookie Kameron Misner led off the ninth inning with his first major league home run, giving Tampa Bay a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday as the Rays began their season of home games at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla.

Miser, a 27-year-old who debuted last August, entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth. He drove a first-pitch fastball from Victor Vodnik over the right-field wall for his second big league hit.

Tampa Bay is playing at the New York Yankees’ spring training home after Hurricane Milton destroyed the Tropicana Field roof on Oct. 9.

Kyle Freeland struck out seven in six scoreless innings for the Rockies.

Tampa Bay tied the score in the seventh on Jonathan Aranda’s sacrifice fly and José Caballero’s RBI single against Tyler Kinley.

Mets 3, Astros 1: Juan Soto hit his first homer with New York, helping his new team beat host Houston.

With two out in the third inning, Soto drove a 1-2 pitch from Hunter Brown deep to right for a solo shot that lifted New York to a 3-0 lead.

Soto’s 390-foot shot came a day after he struck out on a full-count slider from closer Josh Hader with two on and two out in a 3-1 opening-day loss.

Mets starter Tylor Megill (1-0) pitched five-plus innings of one-run ball. He allowed three hits, struck out six and walked one.

Athletics 7, Mariners 0: Brent Rooker belted a two-run home run, Thousand Oaks High graduate Max Muncy hit a homer for his first big league hit, and Jeffrey Springs pitched six scoreless innings to help Oakland win at Seattle.

Muncy, a 22-year-old in his second big league game, slugged a towering solo shot to left-center in the eighth.

A second baseman, Muncy, who is no relation to the Dodgers’ Max Muncy, was flanked in the A’s infield by shortstop Jacob Wilson, a former Thousand Oaks teammate.

Padres 4, Braves 3: Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a leadoff homer and Jake Cronenworth hit a go-ahead shot leading off the eighth inning to give host San Diego a win over Atlanta.

Blue Jays 5, Orioles 2: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits and drove in a run, and Toronto beat visiting Baltimore.

Bo Bichette had two hits, scored a run and drove in a run as Toronto bounced back from a 12-2 loss on Thursday on opening day. Kevin Gausman (1-0) pitched six innings of two-run ball.

Jackson Holliday hit a solo homer for Baltimore, but his one-out drive in the third was the Orioles’ only extra-base hit.

The Orioles hit a franchise-record six opening-day homers on Thursday. They finished with three total hits Friday.

Diamondbacks 8, Cubs 1: Eugenio Suárez hit a pair of two-run homers off Jameson Tallion, Merrill Kelly threw 5 1/3 solid innings and Arizona beat visiting Chicago.

Rangers 4, Red Sox 1: Jonah Heim hit two solo homers off All-Star Tanner Houck and rookie Jack Leiter allowed one run over five innings for his first big league win as Texas won at home over Boston.

Heim’s second homer was a 417-foot drive to right-center that put Texas up 2-1 in the fifth, after Leiter (1-0) had thrown the last of his 82 pitches.

Leiter, the second overall pick in 2021 amateur draft, struck out four with one walk while allowing five singles.

Pirates 4, Marlins 1: Oneil Cruz hit a two-run homer and Pittsburgh won at Miami.
