There’s a reason to smile today: Opening Day is finally here! After five consecutive losses from 2015 to 2019, the Marlins won their season opener against the Phillies last year. This time, they will try for more of the same when they face the Rays (4:10 ET).
Sandy Alcántara—who is 1-1, 4.50 ERA in two outings against Tampa Bay—is the chosen one by Don Mattingly to lead the rotation and start the first game of the regular season. And just in case something extraordinary happens, here’s your guide of every Marlins record on Opening Day.
Enjoy!
