NEW YORK -- MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, will exclusively stream a free special presentation of MLB.TV when Randy Johnson makes his season debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight at 10:15 p.m. (EDT). The game will be available without local blackout restrictions in the Phoenix broadcast territory.

"We are grateful for the leadership of Jeff Moorad and Derrick Hall in providing D-backs fans this exclusive opportunity to see tonight's game," said Dinn Mann, executive vice president, Content, MLB.com. "By agreeing to lift the local blackout, FSN Arizona demonstrated a tremendous spirit of partnership with the ballclub and the industry, giving Arizona fans a convenient way to enjoy Randy Johnson's highly anticipated return live on MLB.tv."

The game will exclusively be shown on MLB.com and dbacks.com with FSN Arizona, which is the D-backs rightsholder, unable to televise it due to a prior commitment to air the Phoenix Suns-Golden State Warriors NBA game.
