NEW YORK -- The Phillies and Mets will become a small part of sports media history today when they participate in MLB's first digital-only national regular-season game broadcast. The afternoon game at Citi Field will air in the United States exclusively on Facebook Watch, a video platform that launched last August.
Those wishing to see aces Noah Syndergaard and Aaron Nola square off in a 1:10 p.m. ET matinee can log onto Facebook Watch's MLB live page from their phones, tablets, smart TVs or other streaming devices. MLB Network will produce the game, with play-by-play man Scott Braun, analysts Cliff Floyd and John Kruk, and in-game reporter Alexa Datt on the call.
