Red Sox season under way

The Boston Red Sox have opened their 106th season on a sunny, mild afternoon in Arlington, Texas. Newly acquired center fielder Coco Crisp led off, and ended up taking a called strike three from Texas Rangers starter Kevin Millwood.

The Red Sox have a five-game opening day losing streak, the longest such slump in Major League Baseball. Their last win was in 2000, when Pedro Martinez shut down the Seattle Mariners. In club history, the Red Sox are 50-54-1 on opening day.
