San Francisco Giants’ Buster Posey hits a run batted in (RBI) ground out to score Giants’ Marco Scutaro (not pictured) against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the fourth inning of their MLB baseball game in Los Angeles, California October 3, 2012.
This will mark the third time in five seasons that the Giants will enter opening day as the reigning World Series champions, and they will look to start their defense of the title with a win.
Taking to the mound for the Giants will be Madison Bumgarner, who will be throwing his first competitive pitches since his memorable performance in Game 7 of the World Series against the Royals way back in October.
For the Diamondbacks, veteran right-hander Josh Collmenter will be thrown the ball as Arizona look to take down the reigning champs.
The MLB 2015 opening season features numerous highlights this year. Many will be looking to Masahiro Tanaka following months of rumors and doubts surrounding his right elbow. The injury landed him on the disabled list last season, and many will want to see how his partially torn ulnar collateral ligament holds up as the season gets going today.
Another big highlight for opening day will be this contest between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The pair will meet each other 19 times this season, including a potential vital three game set, which will close out the season. Matt Kemp in particular will be looking at this game with relish, and even though he has a lot of memories at Chavez Ravine, his time there ended on a bad note, and he will be looking to gain revenge in the only way he knows how – by winning and being successful where he is now.
Another big story for opening day 2015 will be veteran Torii Hunter leading his new team, the Minnesota Twins, against his old team, the Detroit Tigers. He has said ahead of the game: “I’m fired up to face anybody, whether I face the Angels, which I had a great time, or I face the Tigers, which I had a great time with. I can tell you this: Any team I might play, they know I’m coming to play,” according to TwinCities.com.
