Even on a night when the Astros lost by 10 runs, Carlos Correa stood out.

Carlos Santana has always said his approach to baseball comes down to a two-word phrase: Play happy. When he was caught on camera dancing in the dugout with Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis on Wednesday night, that mantra was on full display.

The first grand slam of the 2016 baseball season belongs to George Springer.

Wilson Ramos’ two-out chopper led to a couple of defensive mistakes that spoiled Bud Norris’ otherwise impressive Braves debut and enabled the Nationals to complete a two-game season-opening sweep with a 3-1 win on Wednesday night at Turner Field.

Who said Spring Training performances don’t carry over into the regular season? That certainly wasn’t the case for Juan Nicasio in his Pirates debut on Wednesday night.

The Yankees chased Collin McHugh early in a six-run first inning, then added a pair of three-run homers from Starlin Castro and Mark Teixeira as they enjoyed a 16-6 rout of the Astros on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Tyler Kolek, the Marlins’ No. 1 prospect had Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 Draft experienced elbow discomfort at the end of what had been an encouraging Spring Training.

Rockies shortstop Trevor Story had seemingly a harder time describing how it feels to do something that’s never been done before than actually doing it.

Playing in one of Eddie Murray’s old haunts, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz passed the Hall of Famer for 26th on the all-time home run list by smashing No. 505 in the sixth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Indians.

As first impressions of a season go, the Pittsburgh Pirates would seem to have closed the narrow space between themselves and the St. Louis Cardinals.

It did not take Ender Inciarte long to show Braves fans they once again have a Gold Glove-caliber center fielder, conjuring memories of when Andruw Jones played in Atlanta.

Yovani Gallardo erased any concern over a poor Spring Training, as the right-hander pitched five solid innings, holding the Twins to just one run in the Orioles’ 4-2 win over the Twins at Camden Yards on Wednesday night.

An early lesson in these opening days of a new baseball season: Don’t be surprised by anything Robinson Cano does.

Scott Schebler delivered a walk-off double with the bases loaded to give the Reds a 3-2 victory over the Phillies and the first two games of the season-opening series.

The Tigers thought they were at a disadvantage by opening their season with Interleague Play in a National League ballpark. But while they lost their designated hitter for two games against the Marlins, they gained a pinch-hitting weapon in Victor Martinez, who became the first player in modern history to hit a pinch-hit home run in each of his team’s first two regular-season games.

The Toronto Blue Jays have played — and lost — another game since Tuesday night’s controversial game-ending replay review, but the postmortem isn’t over.

For stretches Wednesday, Marlins right-hander Jose Fernandez was simply overpowering, and he compiled 13 strikeouts, one shy of his career best. But as impressive as the 23-year-old was, the Tigers still tagged him for five runs.
