The updated Boston Red Sox schedule has been released for the 2020 season and there are some notable changes that immediately catch the eye beyond the obvious reduction to only 60 games. Boston opens the season on July 24 by hosting the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park and you’ll notice a bit of an unusual start time that becomes a trend throughout the season.
While the Red Sox have commonly started weekday home games at 7:10 p.m. in previous seasons, this year those games will begin at 7:30 p.m. That’s by design, as Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy revealed to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.
