Can you name the Orioles Opening Day starters since 2000?

[Spy Fox]

The Orioles have had 11 different Opening Day starting pitchers in 17 Opening Days since the new millennium. Can you name them? Try not to look it up!

Hint: Eight of the 11 pitchers on the list only made one Opening Day start. 

Bonus: While no pitcher has done it more than twice, there are four opposing pitchers who have started two Opening Days against the Orioles in that span. Can you guess them?

Mussina, Sidney Ponson, Rodrigo Lopez, Jeremy Guthrie, Jason Hammel?, Chris Tillman. 

As for the bonus, is Sabathia one?

Arrieta started at least one Of that I remember.

I'm going to guess the bonus, Lester, Price.... and now I'm out of ideas.

Pat Hentgen started against Pedro Martinez in a game the O's won in extras. That was either 2000 or 2001.

I think James Shields might have started multiple for Tampa Bay against the O's.

Erik Bedard.

Here were my guesses before I started reading the thread ... not in chronological order ...

Mussina (did he leave before 2000? couldn't remember)

Rodrigo Lopez

Sidney Ponson

Jeremy Guthrie

Jason Hammel

Chris Tillman

Brian Matusz

Jason Johnson

Daniel Cabrera (I don't think this is correct, but I thought maybe he got one before he left)

[Spy Fox]

You've already guessed nine of the 11 Orioles:

• Tillman x3
• Lopez x3
• Guthrie x3
• Mussina
• Hentgen
• Ponson
• Bedard
• Arrieta
• Hammel

And three of the four opponents who made multiple OD starts:

• Sabathia
• Price
• Shields

Lester only made one OD start against the O's.

None of those three actually made an OD start. Good guesses though, and I might have guessed a couple of those over a couple of the actual answers before I looked it up.

Benson?

[OrioleMagic79]

What about Scott Erikson? Did he ever get one?

Props to you because I thought Hentgen might be the hardest to guess. 

[SteveA]

Pedro multiple opposing starts?

I was at the game! Otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to get it. I think it was Brady Anderson who drove in the winning run.

We have all but one in this thread ... and I couldn't help myself but to look it up because I wasn't able to think of anyone else ... I won't spoil it, but man, I completely forgot about this dude ...
