Minnesota Twins' starting lineup for MLB Opening Day 2025 game announced
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins are facing off against the St. Louis Cardinals for MLB Opening Day 2025 on Thursday. The Cardinals are hosting the Twins at Busch Stadium in St. Louis , and the starting pitch is set for 3:15 p.m. CST. Pundits are looking at Minnesota's 2025 season as an opportunity to build from. The team won its first playoff series in two decades two seasons ago , but ultimately eked out a 2024 record that saw the team just barely avoid losing more games than they won, thanks in large part to a late-season collapse . We now know the starting lineups for both teams. Check them out below. Pitcher: Pablo López Pitcher: Sonny Gray Thursday is the beginning of a three-game series for the Twins and Cardinals. The next two games are set for Saturday and Sunday afternoon. After that, the Twins continue on the road, taking on the Chicago White Sox, who last season broke the MLB's 62-year-old single-season record for the most losses during a season . The Twins play their first home game of the season on April 4 at 3:10 p.m. when they host the Houston Astros at Target Field. The home opener plans include a traditional breakfast on the plaza from 6 to 9 a.m. just outside Target Field, a traditional flyover will feature two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Minnesota National Guard's 148th Fighter Wing, and a special tribute to the late president and artistic director of Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Michael Brindisi, involving a special performance by the cast of the current staging of "Grease." A recent study in recent years found that the Minnesota Twins have one of the most affordable home openers , and this year's home opener initially listed ticket prices as low as $9 for some .

Phillies' starting lineup for MLB Opening Day 2025 features new leadoff hitter
The Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals are kicking off their regular seasons today at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., as part of MLB Opening Day 2025 . For the Phillies, the roster features many familiar faces despite an early playoff exit in 2024. Still, there is one significant change fans will see as Philadelphia begins its quest for its third World Series in franchise history. Kyle Schwarber is no longer in the leadoff spot, at least for Game 1. The Phils are batting Trea Turner leadoff and moving Schwarber to a more traditional slugging spot: cleanup. Phillies manager Rob Thomson is expected to experiment with using multiple lineups depending on pitching matchups, which would be a change from the past. During his time as skipper, Thomson has tended to keep most of his lineups intact. So, Schwarber might not be leading off today against a left-handed starter, but he's projected to still lead off against righties. Zack Wheeler will start his second consecutive opening day for the Phillies. Washington sends MacKenzie Gore to the hill. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. The game will air on NBC10 and NBCSP+ and broadcast on 94 WIP over the radio.
