The attention of many baseball fans is still focused on this year's playoff race, but they can also now look forward to 2014. 

Major League Baseball has announced the schedules for all teams for the 2014. 

The Baltimore Orioles will open the season March 31 at Camden Yards against the Boston Red Sox. The Washington Nationals will open March 31 against the Mets in New York. The team's home opener will take place April 4 against the Atlanta Braves. 


The Orioles will be visiting Boston for Patriots Day on April 21, traditionally a morning start. It will also be a somber occasion for Bostonians as they observe a year since the Boston Marathon bombing.

Baltimore will be on the road for 18 games in May, including visits to Minnesota, Tampa Bay and Houston. That's the most road games in any month of the 2014 season.

The team will wrap the season on the road with trips to New York and Toronto. Like this year, many of the season's final games will be against division opponents.

In interleague matchups, the Birds will square off against the National League Central. The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds will visit Camden Yards in August and September, respectively, while the Orioles will travel to the Brewers in May and the Chicago Cubs in August.

The Orioles will have home and home sets against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals. The Orioles will host the Pirates—who on Monday clinched their first winning season since 1992—for two games in late April, then visit Pittsburgh for two more in May. The O's will visit the Nats July 7 and 8, then host the two following games.

The Nationals will get a taste of the American League West in 2014, with interleague games against the A's, Astros, Mariners and Rangers.
