(AP) — Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester will start Game 1 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

That's the word on Monday from Boston manager John Farrell.

Farrell says he hasn't decided on his entire lineup, but designated hitter David Ortiz will start at least once at first base when the series shifts to St. Louis for the middle three games. There is no DH allowed in the NL park, meaning Ortiz will have to play the field for just the seventh time this season.

The Red Sox worked out Monday, two days after eliminating the Detroit Tigers in Game 6 of the AL championship series. Game 1 of the World Series is Wednesday night at Fenway Park.

The thirteenth tropical depression of the Atlantic Ocean season formed today, Oct. 21 and NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured its development. NASA's GOES Project created an animation from the NOAA satellite imagery that shows the depression's development over three days.


On Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. EDT/1500 UTC, Tropical Depression 13L was born about 650 miles/1,045 km east-southeast of Bermuda near 28.0 north and 55.1 west. It had maximum sustained winds near 35 mph/55 kph and some strengthening is expected. Tropical Depression 13L is moving to the northeast at 8 mph/13 kph and is expected to continue for a day before turning to the east-northeast.



In a 29 second animation of GOES-East satellite imagery from Oct. 19 through 21, the formation of the depression can be seen over 600 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. The animation was created by the NASA GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.


Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center noted that satellite imagery showed a long curved band of thunderstorms over the eastern semicircle of the center of circulation. There is also a small cluster of convection (rising air that forms thunderstorms that make up the tropical cyclone) on the east side of the low-level center.


Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expect the depression to strengthen into a tropical storm. If it does become a tropical storm it would be named "Lorenzo."

Facts About California's High-Speed Rail Plan


— How much will it cost:


The current price tag is listed as $68 billion, but it has fluctuated wildly. California's High-Speed Rail Authority says it is still cheaper than building dozens of new airport runways and highways to accommodate a state population expected to hit 46 million by 2035.


— Who is paying for it:


The state agency that oversees the project has nearly $10 billion in voter-approved bonds for rail construction and improvements to existing lines, and $3.2 billion in federal financing for the first 130 miles. But no private investors have stepped forward yet, and it is unclear where the rest of the financing will come from. A court case that could delay the project hinges on the state's funding plan.


— Where will it go:


Construction will start in the Central Valley, a 30-mile stretch from Madera to Fresno. In future years, the rail line will stretch westward to San Jose and south to Palmdale and the San Fernando Valley. There are currently no plans to link the train lines to Sacramento or San Diego.


— When will it be built:


Shovels will be in the ground "within a few months," rail officials say.


Construction has been repeatedly delayed, and officials face a deadline to finish the first leg by 2017 or risk losing the federal money. Officials initially said it would start last year, then delayed it to summer 2013 and currently say "within a few months." However, engineering, surveying and excavation work has begun.


The high-speed rail business plan says trains will run between the greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area by 2029.
