MLB announces 2014 schedule; Dodgers open in Australia against Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers will be the team the world sees first when the 2014 Major League Baseball season begins.

As previously announced, the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks will meet in Sydney, Australia for a two-game series to open next season in the middle of spring training. The games at the Sydney Cricket Ground March 22 and 23 will be MLB’s first in Australia, and there will be no regular-season games for another nine days.

The Dodgers return to California to visit the San Diego Padres for three games beginning March 31.

After an off-day on April 3, the Dodgers will host the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium for a three-game series beginning Friday, April 4. The Detroit Tigers then visit for a two-game interleague affair April 8-9.

The Dodgers have three off-days in the first 11 days of the 2014 schedule after returning from Australia, and four off-days in the first 15 days of the season.

Here is the Dodgers’ complete 2014 schedule:
