For the first time since 2019, Fenway Park is hosting Opening Day at full capacity. "It’s a special day," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday morning. "To come to the ballpark and see people around, it’s great. Obviously 2020 happened and last year, it was 12% or something like that. It should be a full house and there’s a lot of new stuff here at the ballpark, which is great." The Sox welcomed the Twins to town for a four-game set that begins with the home opener and ends with a Marathon Monday matinee.

Stop & Shop will also host a food drive at the ballpark, and ticketholders are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable items to the collection bins at each entrance of Fenway Park, which will be donated directly to Boston Public Schools that are part of the Stop & Shop School Food Pantry Program. According to the USDA, more than 1 in 5 children lives in a food insecure household. Launched in 2019, the Stop & Shop School Food Pantry Program works directly with schools to establish and support food pantries to ensure that kids don't have to go to school hungry. Stop & Shop supports over 140 in-school pantries thus far in the City of Boston, Lynn, Fall River, and communities across New England.

Quincy, Mass. - In honor of Hunger Action Month, Stop & Shop and the Boston Red Sox are continuing their commitment to fight hunger in our local communities with a special Hunger Action Month activation on September 17 at Fenway Park. For the first time ever, an "orange out" will occur on the Green Monster when ticketholders seated in the area will be gifted with orange t-shirts, the color of hunger relief, to raise awareness of hunger in the United States.

His start didn't go as planned

The opponent in one sentence The Athletics are a second straight team on the Red Sox schedule who infuriated their fan base by selling off a lot of top talent and now find themselves among the very worst teams in all of baseball. Record 20-33 Trend Down. The A’s have been trending down since the lockout ended and they traded Matts Olson and Chapman, really, but recently they’ve hit a big skid in their schedule. They are coming immediately off a sweep at the hands of the Astros, which itself was preceded by losing three of four to the Rangers. For all my math heads out there, that’s six losses in their last seven games.

It's a savage bit of destiny that my last game is a late night west coast game, so the least they could do is win. Go Sox!
