Record‑breaking ratings light up baseball’s prime time
Sunday Night Baseball delivered a rare surge in viewership this week, with the Los Angeles Dodgers facing the New York Yankees drawing an average of 3.9 million viewers.
That figure sits just behind the Yankees‑Red Sox clash on June 28, which attracted 4.0 million viewers, marking the two highest‑rated games in the past fifteen years.
The Dodgers‑Yankees contest also produced the season’s largest audience peak, spiking to 4.6 million as Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a go‑ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, sealing a 2‑1 victory for New York.
Fans can look forward to the next edition of the primetime slot on July 26, when the Yankees travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies, a matchup that promises another chance for record‑breaking numbers.
