NEW YORK – The Orioles released next season's spring training schedule Tuesday, and they will open their Grapefruit League schedule March 3 against the Tigers on the road in Lakeland, Fla., then play their home opener the next day against Detroit at Ed Smith Stadium.
The Orioles will play 16 home games in Sarasota, including three games each against the Tampa Bay Rays and the Blue Jays and two games against the Minnesota Twins and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Orioles will end their Grapefruit League schedule against the Atlanta Braves on April 4 in Orlando. The Orioles open the regular season April 6 at Tampa Bay.
They will log some mileage this spring, making three trips to Dunedin, two trips each to Lakeland and Orlando and one to the state's East Coast to play the St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter.
