It's Opening Day for the Rangers
Former Old Dominion baseball star Justin Verlander, making his 10th career Opening Day start, dazzled in his season opener Thursday as his Astros defeated the Texas Rangers, 4-1.
The Astros jumped in front in the first inning as leadoff man Springer homered to right on his first swing of the season.
Elvis Andrus doubled and scored the Rangers' run on a wild pitch in the ninth inning off Ken Giles. "Just really ready for that challenge, it's going to be an awesome Opening Day, it's going to be a great series, and hopefully we can just play our game, not try and do too much, just stay in our game and win the series".
In late October and early November, Springer went 11-for-29 with five home runs and a.379/.471/1.000 slash line to lead the Astros over the Dodgers and win the World Series MVP award. He allowed three runs on five hits.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first leadoff home run for a defending World Series champion.
Rangers: Four pitchers started the season on the 10-day disabled list: lefty Martin Perez (recovering from right elbow surgery) and right-handers Tony Barnette (lower back strain), Tim Lincecum (blister on right middle finger) and Ricardo Rodriguez (right biceps tendinitis).
Springer better figure out something historic to do in the Astros' next game. Fister was the first of 166 major league free agents to finalize a big league contract, and first to switch teams, during the offseason.
