Padres announce 2010 schedule, Orioles and Jays coming to Petco

With San Diego’s ball club battling with Arizona to stay out of the NL West cellar, this young Padres squad has left fans looking ahead to success down the road. The organization announced next year’s schedule Tuesday, giving a reason to start planning for next year.

The team will open the season on the road on Monday, April 5 at Arizona.  The Padres home opener will be Monday, April 12 vs. Atlanta at 3:35 p.m.

For the home portion of the schedule, all midweek night games will be 7:05 p.m. starts with weekday afternoon contests starting at 3:35 p.m.  Weekends at Petco Park will feature 5:35 p.m. starts on Saturdays with first pitch remaining at 1:05 p.m. for Sunday afternoon contests.  The 2010 home slate features 10 midweek day games (3:35 p.m.) and 13 Saturday tilts (5:35 p.m.).

Following Opening Day in Arizona, the Padres will conclude a three-game set with the Diamondbacks (April 5-7) and travel to Colorado for a weekend series with the Rockies (April 9-11).  The Padres home opener on April 12 vs. Atlanta will be followed by an off day before the nine-game homestand concludes with two more against the Braves (April 14-15) and three-game series against both the Diamondbacks (April 16-18) and Giants (April 19-21).

Interleague play in 2010 will take the Padres to Seattle (May 21-23) and Tampa Bay (June 22-24).  San Diego will host the Mariners (June 11-13), Blue Jays (June 14-16) and Orioles (June 18-20) at PETCO Park as part of a nine-game Interleague homestand.
