You know baseball season has started when games on the East Coast get rained out, championship banners are raised, and Tyler O'Neill is mashing Opening Day dingers.

The Boston Red Sox outfielder had one hit during his team's 6-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, but it kept his impressive streak alive.

O'Neill's 394-foot blast in the eighth inning off Mariners reliever Cody Bolton not only gave the Red Sox an insurance run but also extended O'Neill's streak of five consecutive Opening Days with a home run.
