It’d be an understatement to say that the Toronto Blue Jays will open the 2015 season on a big stage. Not only are the Blue Jays opening the year at Yankee Stadium in New York, their season opener will air nationally on ESPN.
According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, the Blue Jays-Yankees game scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET on April 6 will kick off a slate of four nationally televised games on ESPN. The rest of the lineup features the New York Mets at the Washington Nationals, the Cleveland Indians at the Houston Astros and the San Francisco Giants at the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Blue Jays have struggled at Yankee Stadium in recent years, but they managed to end a 17-game losing streak in the Bronx in 2014. Toronto went 8-11 against the Yankees last year, including a 3-7 mark on the road.
After playing a three-game series against New York, the Blue Jays head to Baltimore for three games against the Orioles before opening their home schedule against the Tampa Bay Rays on April 13.
