MLB opening weekend takeaways: New bats, Padres' hot start, more

The first weekend of the 2025 MLB season is in the books -- and what a wild few days of action it was across the majors.

We saw the Los Angeles Angels establish a new low when they used a position player to pitch on Opening Day. Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Nick Gonzales broke his ankle while hitting a home run. Nestor Cortes gave up three home runs on his first three pitches of the season. The San Francisco Giants tied a record by starting their 19th consecutive different left fielder on Opening Day in Heliot Ramos.
