SARASOTA, Fla. – Eight of the Orioles’ spring training games will air on MASN, exceeding last year’s total by one.

The first televised game is the opener against the Pirates on Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. at Ed Smith Stadium. The last broadcast in Florida is March 22 against the Pirates in Bradenton, the team’s shortest drive of the spring.

The March 3 game also is listed as an ESPN broadcast.

The Orioles relocated their spring home from Fort Lauderdale to Sarasota in 2010, with renovations to the complex made in 2011.

Pitchers and catchers reported today and the first workout is Thursday morning. The first full-squad workout is Tuesday.

Fans are invited to watch workouts on the back fields from approximately 9 a.m.-1 p.m., free of charge, from Feb. 13-Feb. 21. They will be treated to “an expanded viewing area.”

Charm City Eats food truck will be there on Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m., selling crab cakes and other Maryland-favorite food items.

The first regular season game will be played March 27 against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The home opener is March 31 against the Red Sox.
