Red Sox-Yankees Friday Rain Out Becomes Sunday Day-Night Doubleheader

Due to rain in the New York area, tonight’s Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game has been postponed until Sunday night. With Sunday afternoon’s game scheduled for a 1 p.m. ET start, TBS will carry the game nationally as planned. But with the added game for 6:30 Sunday night, MLB Network will pick up the YES feed. MLB Network was to pick up tonight’s game as well.

Both NESN and YES have announced they will air both games to the New England and Tri-State areas respectively. MLB Network will be blacked out in the home markets.

So the schedule for Sunday looks like this:

Boston at New York Yankees — TBS/NESN/YES, 1 p.m.
Boston at New York Yankees — MLB Network/NESN/YES, 6:30 p.m.

Fox will carry Saturday’s game at 4:10 p.m. as scheduled.
