All proceeds benefit Frederick Keys Care. There is a limit of four baseballs per fan.

On top of these promotions, an in-game treasure hunt is scheduled, plus postgame fireworks presented by American Disposal Services.

The Keys play back-to-back day games on Saturday and Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 2:00 p.m each afternoon (and gates opening at 1). Saturday's contest marks the return of Star Wars Day.
