There is still much to be decided about the current season, but the Tampa Bay Rays have released their schedule for 2014.
The Rays have a seven-game homestand to start the year, beginning with an Opening Day matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays at 4:10 p.m. March 31. That game is part of a four-game set against the Blue Jays, which is followed by a three-game series against the Texas Rangers.
Tampa Bay hosts the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for a combined five weekend series. The Rays' 20-game interleague schedule includes four meetings against the Miami Marlins (June 2-5) and 16 against teams from the National League Central. Tampa Bay plays the St. Louis Cardinals four times (June 10-11, July 22-23) and the Cincinnati Reds (April 11-13), Pittsburgh Pirates (June 23-25), Milwaukee Brewers (July 28-30) and Chicago Cubs (Aug. 8-10) three each.
The Rays close the season on a six-game road trip against the Red Sox (Sept. 23-25) and Cleveland Indians (Sept. 26-28).
