The Braves push for their first National League East title since 2013 will be on display in a unique viewing experience as MLB's digital-only national broadcasts continue with the Braves' finale in San Francisco today at 3:45 p.m. ET.
The Braves-Giants series finale at AT&T Park will stream live in the United States exclusively on Facebook. The afternoon contest is one of 25 streaming broadcasts scheduled throughout 2018 as part of MLB's partnership with Facebook.
Fans can tune in at www.facebook.com/MLBLiveGames or by logging onto Facebook's MLB live page from their phones, tablets, smart TVs or other streaming devices.
MLB Network will produce the game with play-by-play man Rich Waltz, analysts Jason Marquis and Mike Krukow and in-game reporter Guy Haberman handling broadcasting duties in San Francisco.
