The Twins will open the season on the road March 29 with a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, followed by a two-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

They'll return to Minneapolis on April 5 for their home opener, the start of a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners, then take on the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros before heading to Puerto Rico.

Next year's schedule features 20 interleague games, a slate of matchups that includes the Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs.
