Means was officially named the Orioles' Opening Day starter Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Means will face Eduardo Rodriguez and the Red Sox at Fenway Park on April 1, lining him up to face the Yankees at Yankee Stadium for his second outing. The lefty was expected to start on Opening Day last season but wound up missing his chance due to arm fatigue. He'll be the Orioles' sixth Opening Day starter in the last six seasons.
