TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays will kick off their 2015 spring training schedule March 3 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin, Fla.

The Blue Jays will play at least one home game against all of their American League East division rivals before closing out the 32-game schedule at Montreal against the Cincinnati Reds, the team said Wednesday in a release.

Toronto will wrap up the Florida portion of its pre-season April 1 against the Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers. The Blue Jays will get an off-day before facing the Reds at Olympic Stadium on April 3 and 4.

The regular season will begin April 6 in New York with a three-game set against the Yankees. Toronto’s home opener is scheduled for April 13 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Blue Jays finished third in the American League East last season with an 83-79 record.
