What's better than Sunday afternoon baseball? Well, Major League Baseball is hoping you'll say Sunday morning baseball.
A June 23 NLCS rematch between the Phillies and Diamondbacks has been moved from an early afternoon start to an 11:35 AM. first pitch.
The move is a part of the sport's larger switch to streaming platforms, as this game will air on Roku. Previous Sunday morning baseball games had aired on the Peacock platform.
