Opening Day: Mariners kick off 4-game home stretch against Red Sox

SEATTLE — Baseball is back in Seattle. It’s Opening Day for the Mariners as they start their 2024 campaign at T-Mobile Park Thursday evening.

The M’s are kicking off a four-game home stretch against the Boston Red Sox.

There are still tickets available.

As usual, there will be special Opening Day festivities.

Early Thursday morning, the cheapest ticket on sale was $45. The most expensive is $188.

More than 50 boys and girls from local little leagues will say “play ball” in unison, and a Make-A-Wish child will take a ceremonial run around the bases.

Mariners legend and seven-time All-Star Nelson Cruz will throw the first pitch, and Mariners Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki will present Julio Rodríguez with his second Silver Slugger Award.

There will also be a lot of mouth-watering food at T-Mobile Park this season.

Tamari Bar and the Double MitchWich are just a couple of the new additions this year.

And of course ballpark classics like hot dogs and peanuts are available.

First pitch is at 7:10 p.m.
