Suarez's Red Sox Debut vs. Astros

On March 30th, the Boston Red Sox are set to launch their 2026 season tonight against the Houston Astros at Dakin Park.

Ranger Suarez, their big offseason pickup from the Phillies, takes the mound for his debut, fresh off 12 wins and a 3.20 ERA over.

157 innings last year. Houston counters with Lance McCullough's junior at 8-10 pm, Eastern Time.

Suarez brings that steady heat the Red Sox have been craving to anchor their rotation early on.

McCullough's meanwhile is battling back from nagging injuries, aiming to lock down a reliable spot in Houston's lineup after some rough seasons.

Fans are buzzing about this match up as a tone setter for both squads, with Boston hoping Suarez sparks a strong start away from Finway.

The Astros see it as a chance to flex their home dominance right out the gate.

Looking ahead, the Red Sox stick around Houston for three games, March 31st and April 1st both at 8-10 pm, then a quick turnaround.

Versus the Padres at home on April 3rd, Houston follows their series with trips to face the athletics.
