Now that the times have been updated for Wednesday, we know that MLB Network will get the first game of the day on Wednesday, Game 3 of St. Louis at Washington at 1 p.m. ET.
Bob Costas will have the play-by-play with Jim Kaat on the analysis. Sam Ryan will be the on-field reporter. MLB Tonight will lead into the game starting at 11 a.m.
