Chris Archer is getting his second straight Opening Day nod.
Archer, who was named an All-Star last season for the very first time, will be on the mound when the Rays begin the season on April 3 against the Blue Jays. The Rays announced on Twitter that "#OpeningDay will be #ArcherDay," giving the right-hander his second straight shot at beginning the season.

Last year, Archer pitched into the sixth inning and took the decision in a 6-2 loss to the Orioles on Opening Day.
