The Texas Rangers kicked off the 1997 season with a decisive 16-2 win over the Cleveland Indians at Globe Life Field. Texas right fielder Sammy Sosa was already in midseason form. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 3.

The Rangers picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Texas manager Will Hawkins.
