The Cardinals will also again open the season on the road, this time in Cincinnati, according to a source who has seen the schedule. It will be the third consecutive year the Cardinals open on the road and the eighth time in nine years. With the festive nature of the Cardinals’ home opener and a wish to limit the number of April games due to weather and school nights, the club does not object to opening on the road.
On their interleague schedule, the Cardinals will have a three-game series at Boston’s Fenway Park, and they will also visit the Tampa Bay area to face Tommy Pham and the Rays.
