July will be big on MLB Network with a tripleheader on the 4th

July is the month when the sports world and most baseball fans begin to really pay attention to Major League Baseball. The All Star Game is on the 16^th and this year it will be played at the Mets Citi Field in New York City. The game will of course air on Fox as usual and the “Mid Summer Classic,” should be very entertaining.

The MLB Network will be very busy during the month of July with their Thursday Night Game of the week which will feature a number of teams that we could see in the post season. They will also offer two tripleheader’s in July.

The first will come on the 4^th of July and it will kick off very early. Here in Washington where I live we have a special early game that begins at 11 a.m. The reason is because over a million people come to the National Mall for the annual fireworks display. So the MLB Network will air the Nationals hosting the Brewers at 11 a.m. ET as the day of baseball gets off to an early start. At 2 p.m. ET the action moves to Chicago where the White Sox will host the Orioles. Then the nightcap will be played in Arlington where the Rangers will host the Mariner’s at 8 p.m. ET.

Tuesday, July 30. the first of the three games start at 4:00 p.m. ET the Pittsburgh Pirates take on the division foe Cardinals. After the Cardinals and Pirates, the Mariners square off against the Red Sox in Boston at 7:00 p.m. ET. The tripleheader concludes with the Reds and the San Diego Padres at 10:00 p.m. ET.
