The Cincinnati Reds will host your Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday evening. Here is how to watch this game online.
Opening Day has never been a strong suit for the Phillies, but two solo home runs from their middle infielders powered a 4-3 victory in Cincinnati.
Jerad Eickhoff, the young workhorse acquired in the Cole Hamels trade, takes the mound at Great American Ballpark against Brandon Finnegan.
Philadelphia fans with certain cable packages now have the ability to stream the game through CSNPhilly and the NBC Sports App. In the stream’s opening debut there were mixed results.
Some viewers outside of the Philadelphia area struggled to watch the stream. I had a perfect stream in State College, while two other people in the same area expressed anger when the app didn’t perform.
