Baltimore Orioles play for MLB Opening Day 2024. Here's what time the game starts and more details to know
BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles home opener is Thursday with a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at Camden Yards, the best ballpark in America.
It's been an eventful offseason for the team with the death of longtime owner Peter Angelos, the sale of the team to David Rubenstein and the approval of a long-term lease extension. Now, it's time to focus on the diamond.
The Orioles finished spring training with a 23-6 record. Now they're back in Baltimore under new ownership to defend their hard-won American League East title.
Opening Day comes during a painful week in Baltimore's history -- the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday after a ship crashed into it, killing six and eliminating a vital artery across Baltimore's harbor. The team joined the city in an outpouring of support in the aftermath of the disaster.
