Seems we should use an opener for the first inning of Mitchell Parker starts?

seems like they need to work on his pre-game prep to see if he can start the 1st like it is the 2nd. There's tricks for this that others have used.

An opener would work if you're trying to prevent the true starter from going a third time through the order.  Parker gets better as the game goes on.  Seems to need to throw 15-20 pitches to settle down regardless.  I also agree with JCA's suggestion above.
