Derek Lowe 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K (Win)
There was only one game on the docket (not including the Dodgers and Giants who were still finishing up their Cactus League action) but Atlanta Brave starter Derek Lowe made the LSOTD pretty easy to select.
Lowe shut out the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies for eight innings allowing only 2 hits and NO walks. He struck out four batters.
In three previous Opening Day starts, he was 0-3 with a 8.44 ERA so I guess he was due.
