Last time the Cubs played the Cardinals in St. Louis, the Sunday game was carried as part of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball package.
The network will do this again when the Cubs return to St. Louis in June. The game Sunday, June 17 at Busch Stadium will be carried on the national network with Matt Vasgersian, Jessica Mendoza and Alex Rodriguez as announcers, and will begin at 7 p.m. CT. (Previous schedules had that game listed as a day game at 1:15 p.m. CT.)
A-Rod’s talk with Kris Bryant about hitting, which ran in its entirety during a long rain delay during the May 6 game on ESPN, was well-done by both A-Rod and KB.
