A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, a separate in-market local subscription is available inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season), and it is blackout-free locally. Games exclusive to national partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not on MLB.TV — that’s not a blackout, they simply aren’t part of the package. There is no public MLB.TV blackout map for Latin American countries.

Keys to the Game
Boston enters with a 76-65 record and needs wins to secure its postseason position heading into the final stretch of September. Baltimore, at 69-72, is running out of time and must win to keep its playoff hopes breathing.
The pitching matchup is the headline: Ranger Suárez (3.64 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) has been one of the more reliable starters in the Boston rotation, while Shane Baz (4.01 ERA, 139 strikeouts) has had a rougher overall season but continues to miss bats. One lefty from Venezuela, one righty trying to keep Baltimore relevant — both with something to prove tonight.
