For the first time, the network said, “SNB” will air exclusively on ABC when the crosstown rivals meet at 6 p.m. in the series finale. The game originally was scheduled for 1:10 p.m.
The usual “SNB” broadcast team of play-by-play man Matt Vasgersian, analyst Álex Rodríguez and reporter Buster Olney will call the game on site, and the telecast also will stream live on the ESPN app.
The second leg of the City Series at Guaranteed Rate Field is scheduled for Aug. 27-29, with the Sunday finale currently slated for a 1:10 p.m. start.
