Blue Jays vs. Orioles Kicks Off Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball
The AL East rivalry between the Blue Jays and Orioles headlines the first “Friday Night Baseball” broadcast of 2025, streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the revamped Blue Jays host Adley Rutschman and the Orioles in the second game of their season-opening four-game series. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre.
Toronto’s looking for a fresh start after a disappointing 74-win season that left them in the AL East basement. Their biggest offseason splash? Signing slugger Anthony Santander away from these same Orioles after he crushed 44 homers for Baltimore last year.
The Orioles now face life without Santander’s power bat, but they’re hardly lacking talent. They’ll lean more heavily on their young stars, including former No. 1 overall picks Jackson Holliday and Adley Rutschman. After Rutschman’s late-season struggles in 2024, his hot spring training performance suggests he’s returning to form.
On the mound, Blue Jays veteran Kevin Gausman seeks a bounce-back season against Charlie Morton, who’s making his Orioles debut. Morton brings his well-traveled arm to Baltimore as the latest stop in his lengthy career.
This matchup sets up an intriguing early test for two teams with playoff aspirations in baseball’s toughest division.
