Nomar Mazara right fielder for the Texas Rangers
George Springer made Major League history on Thursday when he led off the season for the Houston Astros with a home run off Cole Hamels of the Texas Rangers.
Astros: 1B Yuli Gurriel is recovering from left hand surgery last month, but started the season on baseball's restricted list to serve his five-game suspension - for making an inappropriate gesture toward Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish in the World Series - rather than on the disabled list.
Verlander (1-0) struck out five, walked two and hit a batter in his 90-pitch performance in outdueling Texas ace Cole Hamels (0-1). The 7-year-old, along with his father Nate, promptly returned the ball to George in exchange for a signed baseball and an autographed bat.
The Houston Astros, the reigning World Series champions, debuted a four-man outfield on Opening Day day. Springer added the inscription 'Thank you'.
Jake Marisnick homered to left in the fourth.
Arcia's hit came off Adam Cimber (0-1), who allowed Choi's pinch-hit double.
Yankees put OF Aaron Hicks on DL with muscle strain
One potential solution will be to move Brett Gardner into center field with Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge in the corner spots. Remember, the club was without Didi Gregorius and Gary Sanchez for the first month of '17 and still managed to go 21-9.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli to visit India

After walking Correa, Hamels induced an inning-ending double play from Gonzalez to escape the jam. Andrus scored on a wild pitch and the Rangers avoided being shut out in a home opener for the first time since 1992.
And this time, they had Justin Verlander for opening day. Chicago finished with six homers, becoming the first team to belt a half-dozen bombs in a season opener since the New York Mets did it in 1988 at Montreal. They had someone in left, left center, right center and right field. Boston built a 4-0 lead against Chris Archer, with Eduardo Nunez hitting a two-run, inside-the-park homer.
Boog Powell hit a one-out triple off Noe Ramirez (0-1) to start the winning rally.
Luis Severino (1-0) pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings for the Yankees, who won their opener for the first time since 2011.
BRAVES 8, PHILLIES 5: Nick Markakis hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, capping Atlanta's comeback from a five-run deficit Gabe Kapler's managing debut with Philadelphia.
