The Orioles will start a 2023 schedule that includes matchups with all 29 different main league groups March 30 on the highway in opposition to the Boston Red Sox, marking the fifth straight season opener away from Camden Yards.
After that sequence, the Orioles go to the Texas Rangers for 3 video games earlier than their house opener April 6 in opposition to the New York Yankees.
As per Major League Baseball’s new collective bargaining settlement, the Orioles will now play all 29 different groups every season, which suggests fewer video games in opposition to their American League East rivals. Rather than the same old 19 matchups with every divisional opponent, Baltimore will face the Red Sox, Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays 13 occasions every. They’ll proceed to play a sequence every at house and on the highway in opposition to groups from the AL West and the AL Central.
“I do think it’s more fair, honestly,” Orioles supervisor Brandon Hyde stated after the schedules had been launched Wednesday. “We’re still gonna play — how many games in our division, 13 times 4, so 52? So still a third of your schedule is against American League East teams, which is good. I think it’s also good to be able to see everybody else, too. I think that that’s a little bit more fair around the league. Play every team in the National League, I think that’s gonna be fun. I think it’s gonna be great for fans, also, to be able to see any team they want to see wherever they live. I just think it evens things out a little bit, honestly.”
Among their conferences with each National League staff, the Orioles will host Buck Showalter’s New York Mets at Camden Yards in a sequence Aug. 4-6. Showalter managed the Orioles from 2010 to 2018 and led them to 3 postseason berths, together with the AL East title in 2014. They can even face Manny Machado, the star infielder they traded on the 2018 deadline to kickstart their rebuild, former Washington Nationals star Juan Soto and the San Diego Padres on Aug. 14-16 at Petco Park. The Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2020 World Series champions, will go to Camden Yards shortly after the All-Star break on July 17-19.
Among the notable highway journeys is a go to June 2-4 to Oracle Park to tackle the San Francisco Giants, who the Orioles haven’t confronted the on the highway since 2016, the final 12 months they made the playoffs. Baltimore can even face the Milwaukee Brewers on the highway for the primary time since 2017 (June 6-8), return to Wrigley Field to play the Chicago Cubs (June 16-18) and tackle the 2021 World Series champion Atlanta Braves on the highway for the primary time since 2018 (May 5-7).
The Orioles have house video games on Easter (April 9 in opposition to the Yankees), Mother’s Day (May 14 in opposition to the Pittsburgh Pirates) and Memorial Day (May 29 in opposition to the Cleveland Guardians). They play at Yankee Stadium on the Fourth of July.
Baltimore ends the season with a six-game homestand that includes two video games in opposition to Washington and 4 in opposition to Boston, with the regular-season finale scheduled for Oct. 1. The Orioles have solely two scheduled days off in September.
