Fenway Park Celebrates Opening Day with Exciting Photos

The Red Sox returned to Fenway Park on Friday after two months of spring training. They began the 2026 season with a six-game road trip.

Early season context

The club managed just one win in its first two series. The team looks to regroup back in Boston against the San Diego Padres.

The series continues Saturday at 4:10 p.m. and Sunday at 1:35 p.m. Home-field energy could help the club find traction.
