Tonight's Rockies-Reds tilt at Great American Ball Park, featuring starters Tyler Anderson for Colorado and Lisalverto Bonilla for Cincinnati, will be the first of 20 games streamed live on Facebook, with the remaining games to be announced at a later date.
"Probably the most important single announcement [from the Owners' Meetings] is we've done an agreement with Facebook," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said at a news conference Thursday in New York. "It's really important for us in terms of experimenting with a new partner in this area. We are really excited about this."
Fans tuning in will be treated to a matchup of two clubs outperforming the expectations of many this season.
