Major League Baseball is opening the 2020 season with a bang.
According to Joel Sherman and Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, a high-profile battle between the New York Yankees and defending World Series champion Washington Nationals is slated to be the featured game on opening day, which is scheduled for July 23. The game will take place at Nationals Park in Washington.
The report adds that July 23 is not expected to feature a full slate of games, but will instead serve as an appetizer for the sprint that will begin in earnest on July 24.
