CBS Sports Network will televise the Drive’s game against Lexington on July 30th as part of its Thursday Night MiLB Game of the Week package.
Minor League Baseball announced earlier in the year that it will return to CBS Sports Network for a second season with 10 marquee regular-season games to be televised on the 24-hour cable home of CBS Sports through early August. This season, 18 teams, six leagues and 15 Major League Baseball affiliates will be featured on the Thursday night Minor League Baseball Game of the Week.
Several notable matchups fill this season’s schedule. The television schedule concludes with a trip out west to Isotopes Park, home of the Albuquerque Isotopes, on Aug. 6.
“Our partnership with CBS Sports Network has been a great way to showcase some of Minor League Baseball’s premier venues across the country,” said Michael Hand, Minor League Baseball CMO and president of MiLB Enterprises. “Through this agreement, we look forward to showcasing MiLB to a national audience each week. The partnership provides an extension of our efforts to build on the excitement that more than 41 million fans have experienced from the bleachers in each of the past 10 seasons.”
