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

Impact 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.

Impact According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Means is slated to pick up his fourth start of the spring Wednesday, when he'll likely pitch four or five innings in a matchup with Atlanta. The Orioles have yet to officially announce an Opening Day starter, but the nod will presumably go to Means, who was able to offset a so-so 4.53 ERA in 2020 with an excellent 0.98 WHIP and a solid 19.9 K-BB% (up from 13 percent in 2019).

Ends year with tough loss Means (2-4) took the loss Saturday as the Orioles fell 5-2 to the Blue Jays, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over six innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The southpaw took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but Cavan Biggio's solo shot with two outs put the first run of the game on the board, and the O's were never able to tie it back up. Means finishes up the season with a 4.53 ERA thanks to 12 homers allowed in 43.2 innings, but his 0.98 WHIP and 42:7 K:BB were both improvements on his breakout 2019.
