San Francisco Giants host Kansas City Royals for home opener at Oracle Park
SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants are holding their home opener Friday with a game against the Kansas City Royals at Oracle Park.
The 1:35 p.m. game is the first the Giants will play this season at home after starting 3-3 on a six-game road trip.
While the tarp was over the field at the ballpark due to the continuing rain overnight and into Friday morning, the forecast indicated the rain should let up by first pitch.
Today is the day 👀
