EI is always blacked out on Sunday nights.
It’s an ESPN exclusive. Only local broadcasts allowed in games not carried on ESPN Sunday nights.
The game is on MLB.TV, though. A 1 day pass costs approximately $8.

Really....wow!
I bought it last year and there were so many blackouts I just got the radio for this year…..I guess things ain’t changed.
If the…..er……current situation with Z holds up into the 9th. they might make the video available via MLB.COM – they did that in a similar sitch earlier this year……small consolation, I know…..I’m audio-only, too.
