BOSTON (AP)—Boston pitcher Jon Lester has been picked to start opening day for the Red Sox on April 5 in Detroit.
New Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine made the announcement Monday.
The 28-year-old also started Boston’s first game of the 2011 season in Texas. He will be the first left-hander to start on opening day in back-to-back years for the Red Sox since Mel Parnell started three straight openers from 1952-54.Jasper's thoughts: "FINALLY. Bobby V. has taken forever with this decision!"
