Wilson to start Orioles' spring opener Friday

SARASOTA, Fla. -- When the Orioles begin the Grapefruit League season on Friday against the Detroit Tigers at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Fla., their starting pitcher will be Tyler Wilson.

Wilson, who began last season with the Orioles, moved into the starting rotation on April 23, but didn't make a start after July 2.
