Red Sox fans will be able to go to bed a little earlier this season.
After home night games were played at 7:30 p.m. last year, they will go back to the traditional 7:10 p.m. start times this year.
Major League Baseball announced start times for all games this season on Thursday.
The Red Sox acknowledged last summer starting games at 7:30 wasn't a great idea.
“We talk about scheduling issues each and every day,” Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said on The Greg Hill Show. “The 7:30 experiment was designed to try to capture the largest television audience possible. Given the way the team has played and given maybe the nature of the pandemic with people being home more, perhaps that wasn’t the right decision. We’ll see as we go forward here.”
The Red Sox will open the season on April 1 hosting the Orioles at 2:10 p.m.
