Mariners open 2017 schedule in Houston
- Updated: September 15, 2016
ANAHEIM — For the eighth time in nine years, the Mariners will open the season on the road as Major League Baseball announced the club’s 2017 opener will be April 3 at Houston’s Minute Maid Park.
Seattle’s home opener will also be against the Astros on April 10 at Safeco Field, according to the tentative schedule that was released Wednesday. That initial homestand will also include three games with Texas and three with Miami, but the Mariners play just nine of their first 26 games at home.
The Mariners 40th anniversary season will conclude on the road for the first time since 2012, with a six-game trip to Oakland (Sept. 25-27) and Anaheim (Sept. 29-Oct. 1).
