Rookie Kameron Misner Makes MLB History with Walk-Off Homer in Rays' Season Opener

The Tampa Bay Rays secured a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies in their first game at Steinbrenner Field after Hurricane Milton forced a relocation.

Kameron Misner became the first player in MLB history to hit his first career home run as a walk-off on Opening Day, securing the Rays' dramatic win.
The game marked the Rays' debut at Steinbrenner Field, their temporary home after Hurricane Milton damaged Tropicana Field.
Kyle Freeland delivered a dominant six scoreless innings for the Rockies, but the Rays rallied late with RBIs from Jonathan Aranda and José Caballero to tie the game in the seventh.
The sellout crowd of 10,046 witnessed Misner's ninth-inning heroics, a moment praised by Rays manager Kevin Cash as a 'Hollywood movie script.'
Outfielder Josh Lowe exited the game with oblique discomfort, adding to the Rays' early-season injury challenges.
