¡°Friday Night Baseball¡± on Apple TV+ is back for 2025 -- and this Friday¡¯s season debut is going to pack a punch.
The first pair of Friday night tilts feature a clash of two AL East rivals, the Orioles and Blue Jays, followed by an intriguing Interleague battle between the Mets and Astros.
Orioles at Blue Jays, 7:07 p.m. ET (WATCH HERE)
Adley Rutschman and the Orioles brought the lumber on Opening Day at Rogers Centre, with Baltimore¡¯s star catcher launching two of his team¡¯s six home runs to set a team record for a season opener in a 12-2 win. Even without the injured Gunnar Henderson, Baltimore has a formidable lineup, but the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. -- along with newcomer and former Oriole Anthony Santander -- will try to counter on Friday with some fireworks of their own. Kevin Gausman will take the ball for Toronto, while 41-year-old right-hander Charlie Morton makes his Orioles debut.
Mets at Astros, 8:10 p.m. ET (WATCH HERE)
With New York¡¯s Juan Soto and Houston¡¯s Yordan Alvarez taking their cuts, this game will feature two of the game¡¯s most patient, powerful and dangerous hitters. While Soto recorded a hit and walked twice in his Mets debut on Opening Day, he¡¯ll also be looking for some revenge. The Mets¡¯ prized offseason acquisition came up against Houston closer Josh Hader with two runners on base, two outs and his team trailing, 3-1, but struck out to end the game. Astros right-hander Hunter Brown will try to keep Soto at bay, while righty Tylor Megill looks to help the Mets even the series.
