It just got a little tougher for A’s fans to attend the team’s home opener next season. The A’s, along with Major League Baseball, officially announced Oakland will begin the 2019 season in Tokyo with a pair of games against the Mariners.
The A’s will be the home team for the two-game series that will mark the beginning of next year’s MLB season. The teams will meet on Wednesday, March 20 and Thursday, March 21 at the Tokyo Dome.
This will be the third time the A’s have been in the Japan Opening Series since 2008, when the A’s and Red Sox met.
