The Los Angeles Dodgers begin their final homestand of the 2019 regular season with an Interleague matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays that was selected to exclusively stream on YouTube.
It’s a third and final time this year that the Dodgers are appearing as part of an exclusive MLB Game of the Week Live on YouTube broadcast. They previously did so when playing the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals.
MLB Network’s Scott Braun is handling play-by-play duties, and he’s joined in the broadcast booth by B.J. Upton and Nomar Garciaparra. SportsNet LA’s Alanna Rizzo is again handling on-field reports and interviews.
The YouTube broadcast will include pre- and postgame coverage. The stream can be watched from the embedded video below or via the ensuing step-by-step instructions for YouTube TV and various channels.
Fans can access the broadcasts by going to YouTube.com/MLB or searching “MLB” in the YouTube app. Games can be watched on the platform for free from any device without having to log in.
The games will also stream live on the “MLB Game of the Week Live on YouTube” channel on YouTube TV (subscription required). Fans can subscribe to the official MLB YouTube channel to receive updates.
