The Braves will host their first regular-season game at their new ballpark SunTrust Field on Friday, April 14 against the San Diego Padres.

The Braves will play a total of eight interleague series next season. They will have home games against Toronto (May 17-18), Houston (July 4-5), Seattle (August 21-23) and Texas (September 4-6) at SunTrust Park.
