The Phillies are back on Saturday, May 26 when they travel to St. Louis to take on the reigning World Champion Cardinals. The primetime schedule, which includes four Interleague dates, continues into June and culminates on Saturday, July 7 with a classic New York Yankees - Red Sox matchup in Fenway, while the Atlanta Braves play the Phillies and the Minnesota Twins take on the American League Champion Texas Rangers.

"We're pleased that we were able work with our partners at Major League Baseball to develop our most extensive primetime schedule yet," said FOX Sports Co-President and COO Eric Shanks. "Our hope is to increase viewership and by featuring so many teams, create additional exposure for the game's many stars so they become more familiar to a broader fan base."

The Cardinals head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers in an NLCS rematch, while the San Francisco Giants go on the road against the NL West Champion Arizona Diamondbacks. Fans can also catch Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder and Bobby Valentine in their new uniforms as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim host the Kansas City Royals and the Red Sox take on the Detroit Tigers.
