The Cubs aren’t in postseason contention, and the Giants are rapidly falling out of the NL Wild Card race, but ESPN is tabbing them for one last appearance on Sunday Night Basebll, September 11.
This game was originally scheduled for 1:20 p.m. CT. It’s been moved to 7:08 p.m. CT — that’s an hour later than most ESPN Sunday Night games begin, likely to avoid any conflicts with afternoon NFL games, as that’s Opening Day for the 2022 NFL season.
The Cubs have lost all three games they’ve played on SNB this year — May 8 to the Dodgers, June 5 to the Cardinals and July 31 to the Giants.
