Red Sox 9, Twins 1

Eduardo Rodríguez was selected by Boston manager Alex Cora to start on opening day. Cora made the announcement after the left-hander pitched five innings of one-run ball in a win over Minnesota on Wednesday.

Rodríguez was in line to start on opening day in 2020 before testing positive for the coronavirus and being diagnosed with inflammation in his heart muscles.

“He had a great season in ’19. Last year he wasn’t able to pitch for obvious reasons," Cora said. "What he’s shown now, he’s healthy and he’s ready to go. … It was just a matter of time.”

Bo Bichette singled with two outs in the sixth for the Blue Jays' first hit.
