In collaboration with Major League Baseball, the Colorado Rockies announced today the preliminary 162-game schedule for the 2019 Major League Baseball season.
The Rockies open the 2019 campaign on the road at Miami for a four-game series, March 28-31, the earliest Opening Day in franchise history. After a three-game series in Tampa Bay, April 1-3, and an off-day on Thursday, April 4, the Rockies will return to Coors Field to host the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games, beginning with the club's Home Opener on Friday, April 5 at 2:10 p.m.
The Rockies' schedule also includes home games at Coors Field on Mother's Day (May 12 vs. San Diego), Memorial Day (May 27 vs. Arizona) and Father's Day (June 16 vs. San Diego).
The annual fireworks shows are scheduled for Tuesday, July 2 and Wednesday, July 3 after games against Houston, as well as Friday, Sept. 27, following the game against Milwaukee. For the second time in franchise history, the first time since 2002, the Rockies will have a scheduled off-day on July 4.
The Rockies' Interleague schedule has them playing all five American League East teams for the first time since 2016, along with the American League West's Houston Astros. Colorado will host Baltimore (May 24-26), Toronto (May 31-June 2), Houston (July 2-3) and Boston (Aug. 27-28). This will be the second time that the Orioles have visited Coors Field, the first time since 2004, and the first time that the Red Sox have traveled to Denver since 2013.
Within the National League West Division, Colorado will host 10 games against Arizona, Los Angeles and San Diego and nine games against San Francisco. The Rockies conclude their 2019 regular season at home with a three-game weekend series vs. Milwaukee, Sept. 27-29.
