NEW YORK (AP) — After playing Major League Baseball’s season opener in Australia, the Los Angeles Dodgers will start the North American portion of the schedule, too.
The San Diego Padres will host the Dodgers on March 30 in a game to be broadcast by ESPN, the network said Thursday.
Los Angeles and Arizona open the season with a two-game series at Sydney on March 22-23, MLB’s first regular-season games in Australia.
Most other big league teams start their schedules March 31.
