Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe were the stories of the game for the New York Yankees

Austin Wells got Opening Day started with a bang, hitting a lead-off home run for the New York Yankees. Not only did he become the first catcher to lead-off for the historic club, but he proved manager Aaron Boone correct in slotting him there. In his very first at-bat of the season, Wells took Brewers starter Freddy Peralta deep, proving why there has been so much excitement around the young catcher.

Austin Wells was impressive last season for New York, racking up 13 home runs and 55 RBI, finishing 3rd in American League Rookie of the Year voting. Wells' Yankees teammate Luis Gil ultimately walked away with the award, however, there could be big things in store for the New York catcher this season.

It was not only the team's young catcher who got in on the home run action but also beloved shortstop Anthony Volpe. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Volpe launched his first home run of the season as well, giving the Bronx Bombers an early 2-0 lead over the Brew Crew.

While New York starter Carlos Rodon gave up a home run to Brewers' Vinny Capra, he was solid in his season debut, racking up 7 strikeouts over 5.1 innings of work. The Brewers made a late-game push, however, Devin Williams was able to pick up his first save with New York, securing a 4-2 victory on Opening Day.
