Chris Sale Expected to Start for Red Sox

ESPN today announced an update to its Monday Night Baseball presented by USAA schedule for May 1: the Boston Red Sox, expected to be led by red-hot starting pitcher Chris Sale, will host the Baltimore Orioles and slugger Mark Trumbo at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. The telecast will be subject to local blackout restrictions in both the Boston and Baltimore markets.

The Red Sox will host the Orioles less than 24 hours after they host the defending World Series Champion Chicago Cubs on a highly-anticipated edition of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. Both games will also be available on ESPN Deportes, WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
