If the past week is any indication, we are in for a pair of incredible Rookie of the Year races.

The 2016 season officially will arrive for six more Major League ballparks on Monday as the Astros, Cardinals, Cubs, Phillies, Red Sox and Twins all are set for their home openers.

The Major League Baseball season is already one week old, but there are still several Opening Days on tap. Several cities will see their teams in person for the first time Monday, including Boston and Chicago’s North Side.

The A’s trailed the Mariners by a score of 1-0 after seven innings Sunday, when starting pitchers Chris Bassitt and Felix Hernandez exited the game. A battle of bullpens was on, and Oakland’s stepped up to cap a stellar opening week of the season.

You can’t win anything in a single week. You can’t even lose anything. If you think that makes these first few days of a new season unimportant, guess again, Captain America.

A’s outfielder Coco Crisp hit a solo home run off Seattle reliever Nick Vincent in the 10th inning Sunday, breaking a tie and helping Oakland secure a 2-1 series-sweeping victory over the Mariners at Safeco Field.

The Giants erased a five-run first-inning deficit, slugging three homers off Scott Kazmir and beating the Dodgers in Sunday’s series finale, 9-6, on Joe Panik’s two-run tiebreaking double off J.P. Howell at AT&T Park.

The first week of the Major League season came to a close with a power-hitting barrage Sunday.

On Sunday, Jake Arrieta launched his first home run of the season — a 440-foot shot, according to Statcast™ — in the Cubs’ second inning off the D-backs’ Shelby Miller. It was the third homer of his career.

Braves reliever Daniel Winkler agonizingly walked off the mound and fell to the ground with a fractured right elbow after he threw a pitch during the seventh inning of Sunday afternoon’s 12-7 loss to the Cardinals at Turner Field.

Though they went for naught, the three doubles Braves right fielder Nick Markakis recorded during Sunday afternoon’s 12-6 loss to the Cardinals provided further reason to believe that he has regained some of the strength he lacked as he played through his return from neck surgery last year.

Trevor Story has done it again. The Rockies’ shortstop hit his seventh home run in the bottom of the eighth inning of Sunday’s 6-3 win over the Padres, setting the Major League record for most home runs through a team’s first six games of a season. Story’s home run gave Colorado a 5-3 lead.

Shin-Soo Who? The Rangers didn’t miss Shin-Soo Choo terribly Sunday, when he went on the disabled list with a strained right calf muscle that is expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks. That’s because his replacement in right field, Nomar Mazara, went 3-for-4 with a home run in his big league debut, accounting for Texas’ only run in a 3-1 loss to the Angels.

The Brewers took what Dallas Keuchel and the Astros gave them on Sunday and turned it into a series win, capitalizing just enough on Keuchel’s early walks and Houston’s sloppy baserunning for a 3-2 victory at Miller Park.

Jeremy Hazelbaker and Stephen Piscotty recorded consecutive RBI singles to cap the two-out, eighth-inning rally the Cardinals produced before piling on in the ninth inning to complete a three-game sweep of the winless Braves with a 12-7 victory on Sunday afternoon at Turner Field.

Baltimore remained undefeated on the season on Sunday with a 5-3 win over the Rays at Orioles Park.

It was a good try, Jose.
