Red Sox Interleague play

The AL East is matched up against the NL Central in interleague play next season, meaning the Red Sox will face the Cubs, Cardinals, Reds, Pirates, and Brewers in 2022. Here’s how that scheduling shakes out:

vs. CIN (5/31-6/1), @CIN (9/20-9/21)

vs. STL (6/17-6/19)

@ CHC (7/1-7/3)

vs. MIL (7/29-7/31)

@ PIT (8/16-8/18)

Boston hit the jackpot from a historic/scenic ballpark perspective with their interleague schedule this year. The Red Sox are set to take on the Cubs in Chicago for the first time since 2012. When it comes to classic ballparks, Wrigley is right up there alongside Fenway. The cherry on top is that the two will square off on July 4th weekend. The Red Sox and Cubs playing baseball against each other on Independence Day is the stuff our founding fathers dreamed of. Pure Americana.

Later in the summer, the Pirates host the Sox at PNC Park which features the iconic backdrop of the Roberto Clemente bridge against the Pittsburgh skyline. Visiting PNC Park is high up on my MLB bucket list because of that view, and I just may have to check it off next season.

I’m sure Great American Ballpark (home of the Reds) is an adequate venue to spectate a ballgame as well, it just doesn’t hold a candle to either of the aforementioned. The Reds will also travel to Fenway along with the Brewers and Cardinals.

As they have in nearly even season since interleague play began in 1997, Boston will also have a home and away series against the Braves:

@ ATL (5/10-5/11), vs. ATL (8/9-8/10)
