In 2013, Mets Open at Home and Host All-Star Game Mets fans looking toward next season may be pleased to hear that Major League Baseball has released its 2013 schedule. The Mets will get a fresh start on April 1, when they open the season at home against the San Diego Padres. Baseball, for the first time, will feature season-long interleague play. The Mets will play the Yankees four times, twice in each team's park, at the end of May. Besides the Subway Series, the Mets, along with the rest of their division, will match up this year against teams from the American League Central. They will make trips to face the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago White Sox, and the Cleveland Indians, and play host to the White Sox, the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers. No matter how the Mets' roster looks next year, some legitimately talented players will be at Citi Field on July 16, when the Mets host the All-Star Game.
