MLB to open 2019 season with A's-Mariners matchup in Japan on March 20-21
Samurai Japan and the Major League Baseball team will play for three straight nights at Tokyo Dome on November 9, followed by a game at Mazda Stadium in Hiroshima, western Japan, on November 13.
The postseason all-star tour of Japan is back for the first time since 2014, when a team that included Jose Altuve, Robinson Cano, Yasiel Puig and Evan Longoria made the trip to face a roster featuring a young Shohei Ohtani.
After signing with the Mariners out of Japan, Ichiro Suzuki went on to become their franchise icon and the now 44-year-old re-signed with the Mariners on a minor-league contract this season.
The two-game series will be considered home games for Oakland.
The series, which begins November 9, will take place at three stadiums across Japan. "This will be another memorable experience for our players, our organization and Major League Baseball".
