In his first season with the Red Sox, Garrett Crochet was nothing short of brilliant, turning in an 18-5 campaign with a 2.59 ERA and 255 strikeouts. As he prepares for his second consecutive Opening Day start with Boston, he finds himself on a collision course with a familiar face from the franchise's past.
The Red Sox will open the 2026 season with a matchup against the Reds and former Boston manager Terry Francona. The man who ended the franchise's 86-year championship drought is now tasked with finding a way to solve Crochet.
Both teams have plenty of firepower. Roman Anthony leads the way for the Red Sox after a strong showing at the World Baseball Classic. Crochet will face a Reds lineup that is headlined by All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
Follow along for live updates as Crochet and the Red Sox take the field for Opening Day.

Red Sox vs. Reds live updates, highlights from 2026 Opening Day game
3:32 p.m.: Here is the Red Sox lineup for Game 1. Leading off is Roman Anthony, fresh off a World Baseball Classic where he hit home runs against Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
He's followed by Trevor Story, Jarren Duren and Willson Contreras, who was traded to Boston in the offseason.
3:26 p.m.: Happy Opening Day, Boston,.Your Red Sox play baseball today.
After a breakout 2025 campaign where he established himself as one of the most feared left-handers in the game, Garrett Crochet takes the mound today to lead a new-look Red Sox rotation against the Reds. The hard-throwing southpaw, who led the American League in strikeout rate last season, faces a Cincinnati lineup anchored by Elly De La Cruz in a cross-league Opening Day clash at Fenway Park.
With his triple-digit fastball and a devastating cutter, Crochet looks to prove he can anchor a Boston staff that underwent a massive philosophy shift over the winter to prioritize high-velocity arms.
