The Los Angeles Dodgers open a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday night. The first game series is being streamed exclusively by Apple TV+ and isn’t available on SportsNet LA or anywhere else.
The series in Boston marks the first game back for Mookie Betts since he was traded to the Dodgers in February 2020.
Meanwhile, weather permitting, it’s the Dodgers third appearance on Apple TV+ of the 2023 season.
Wayne Randazzo handles play-by-play and Dan Plesac is in the booth as an analyst. Heidi Watney will serve as the sideline reporter.
Lauren Gardner and Siera Santos handle the studio show for “Friday Night Baseball,” and former MLB players Xavier Scruggs and Matt Joyce join as analysts.
Dubbed “Friday Night Baseball,” Apple TV+’s MLB broadcast is in its second year. Since the start of the agreement in 2022, the Dodgers have been on Apple TV+ four times, beginning with their Jackie Robinson Day matchup versus the Cincinnati Reds.
Arguably L.A.’s most memorable moment on Apple TV+ came last September when former Albert Pujols collected his 699th and 700th home runs of his eventual Hall of Fame career during a game at Dodger Stadium.
