The Orioles are scheduled to open the regular season on April 1st against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Because of the pandemic, this past spring training ended on March 12th, and the Orioles’ scheduled game against the New York Mets at Navy was canceled. With three open dates between the final Grapefruit League game and Opening Day, the Orioles could try to reschedule their game at the academy.
The Braves, Rays, Yankees, Pirates, Red Sox, Twins and Phillies each will play twice in Sarasota.
The Orioles are scheduled for two trips to play at the Red Sox, and their nearby neighbors in Fort Myers, the Twins. They’ll also make two trips to Port Charlotte against the Rays, and two each to neighboring Bradenton against the Pirates, Tampa against the Yankees, North Port against Atlanta and Lakeland against the Tigers.
In 2019, the Orioles and the Tigers didn’t play each other for the first time since spring training was moved to Sarasota in 2010.
There are three split-squads on the schedule. On spring training’s second day, February 28th, the Orioles are scheduled to play Tampa Bay at home and Minnesota on the road. On March 17th, the Orioles are scheduled to play the Red Sox at home and the Tigers on the road. And, on March 24th, the Orioles are scheduled to play the Braves in Sarasota and Pittsburgh on the road.
