Zimmermann gets the call in series finale

The Orioles hand the ball to Ellicott City, Md., native Bruce Zimmermann when they close out their season-opening series against the Red Sox with an Easter Sunday matinee at Fenway Park. Zimmermann earned a rotation spot after making two starts down the stretch in 2020, then beat out several others with a strong Spring Training. He'll be opposed by veteran right-hander Garrett Richards, who is making his Red Sox debut. First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. ET. Catch all the action on MLB.TV.
