SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The San Francisco Giants are scheduled to open their 2017 season at the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, April 2 and play their home opener against the Diamondbacks on Monday, April 10, the club announced today.
The 2017 season will mark the eighth-straight year that San Francisco has opened on the road. After opening the season against Milwaukee in 2016, the Giants will revive their recent trend of starting the season against a National League West opponent when they visit Arizona.
Following series in Arizona (April 2-6) and San Diego (April 7-9), the Giants will travel back to San Francisco for their first homestand of the year, a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks (April 10-12) and a four-game set against the Colorado Rockies (April 13-16).
For the fifth-straight season, the Giants will play 19 games against each of their four National League West rivals - Arizona, Colorado, Los Angeles and San Diego.
The Giants will face the American League Central in Interleague, playing a home-and-home series with the Kansas City Royals (April 18-19 at Kauffman Stadium; June 13-14 at AT&T Park), a three-game home series with the Minnesota Twins (June 9-11) and Cleveland Indians (July 17-19), as well as a three-game road set with the Detroit Tigers (July 4-6) and Chicago White Sox (Sept. 8-10). A four-game, home-and-home series between the Giants and A's will take place, with the first series at the Oakland Coliseum (July 31-Aug. 1) and the second series following immediately after at AT&T Park (Aug. 2-3).
