The first MLB regular-season game played in Tampa, Florida definitely had its fireworks, and then some.
In the traditional pomp and circumstance of Opening Day, saxophonist BK Jackson performed the national anthem, accompanied by the MacDill Air Force Base color guard and flyover, the first in team history.
Colorado would strike first, as Ezequiel Tovar doubled in the first run of the season off of Ryan Pepiot in the top of the third.
In the top of the fourth, Kyle Farmer delivered a sacrifice fly to extend the Rockies lead to 2.
In the bottom of the 5th, Josh Lowe singled and exited the game with left oblique discomfort.
