On the final Saturday before next week's MLB All Star Game in Arlington, Texas, FOX Sports will serve up another evening of "Baseball Night in America" coverage on Saturday, July 13, with live coverage beginning at 7:00 PM (ET) on the FOX broadcast network.
Before FOX hits the air for Saturday night MLB coverage, FS1 will precede the Saturday night regionalized coverage on FOX at 4:00 PM (ET) with an American League East matchup as Juan Soto and the New York Yankees take on Jordan Westburg and the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees and Orioles are currently the top two squads in the American League East as the All-Star Break approaches by the day. 🎤 Versatile play-by-play commentator Jason Benetti and analyst Tom Verducci will have the call.
Then, coverage will shift to FOX at 7:00 PM (ET), as "Baseball Night in America" is set to take you to one of two potential matchups. Most of the country will see Adam Duvall and the Atlanta Braves square off against Jake Cronenworth and the San Diego Padres, as two of the three current National League Wild Card teams are set to get together for a very important series in San Diego. 🎙 Lead MLB on FOX play-by-play commentator Joe Davis describes the action with analyst and 2005 World Series Champion AJ Pierzynski, with reporter Ken Rosenthal handling reporting duties.
The other FOX game at the particular timeslot has Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton and the Minnesota Twins heading out west to play Patrick Bailey and the San Francisco Giants. Primarily, this game will be seen in the Midwest and West Coast markets (with ATL/SD going to the remaining parts of the country). 🎤 Kenny Albert (play-by-play) and Eric Karros (analyst) cover the matchup from the broadcast booth.
