FOX Sports continues their 2024 regular season baseball ⚾ coverage on Saturday, May 4, at 7:00 PM ET with the season premiere of Baseball Night in America. FOX is set to regionalize two games during this time slot to air in front of a national audience.
The night will begin in the Los Angeles studios, as host Kevin Burkhardt and analyst Dontrelle Willis set up the evening's matchups before sending viewers out to the ballpark for their "regional" game.
Most of the nation will see Francisco Lindor and the New York Mets battle Randy Arozarena and the Tampa Bay Rays in the middle game of their three-game series. 2006 World Series champion Adam Wainwright is set to step in the FOX broadcast booth to make his regular season game debut as a game analyst for the Mets/Rays game. Wainwright, who retired following the 2023 season, joined FOX on a full-time basis beginning in 2024. Wainwright will work alongside veteran and versatile play-by-play announcer Adam Amin and longtime MLB on FOX reporter/insider Ken Rosenthal.
For those not receiving the Mets-Rays game, an American League West clash takes center stage in Houston as Julio Rodríguez and the Seattle Mariners visit Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros as the two rivals do battle for the second game of a three-game weekend series in the Space City 🚀. Aaron Goldsmith (play-by-play) and 2005 World Series champion A.J. Pierzynski (analyst) will have the call.

ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, thank you as always! Question: Do you like the new addition of MLB on FOX regionalization articles every week?
DeleteI do. I liked when you did it for NFL and I think it's great that you're continuing it into MLB.
