ARLINGTON -- The rotation spot Scott Lewis won in Spring Training camp came with a bonus prize.
Actually, you might call it a catch.

Lewis was slotted into the rotation's fourth spot and will therefore get the starting nod Thursday, when the Indians play their home opener at Progressive Field against the Blue Jays.

For Lewis, who grew up and has his immediate family in Washington Court House, Ohio, and went to Ohio State, this start is a big one.

"I'm ready to get it out of the way," he said with a laugh. "It's almost more nerve-wracking than my debut. It's a sold-out crowd and everybody's buzzing about Opening Day."
