A’s Japan Opening Day kicks off brutal start to regular season schedule

TOKYO — Every team will hit a tough stretch at some point over the course of a 162-game season, but the A’s might have a legitimate beef with MLB’s schedule makers this year.

When the A’s return home from Japan they’ll play three preseason Bay Bridge Series games against the San Francisco Giants. After that, things really daunting.

The A’s home opener against the Los Angeles Angels March 28 kicks off what will be 18 consecutive days in which they will play a game. The first eight are at the Oakland Coliseum against the Angels and Boston Red Sox.
