The Colorado Rockies began their 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field, playing the displaced Tampa Bay Rays at the Yankees' spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. The Rockies and Rays were tied 2-2 when Colorado's Victor Vodnik came on to pitch in the bottom of the ninth. He threw one 97 mph fastball -- which Rays outfielder Kameron Misner, a 27-year-old rookie, deposited into the right-field bleachers for a winning home run.
It was Misner's first home run in the majors, making him the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off home run on Opening Day for his first career home run.
