Pirates vs. Blue Jays: Live Stream Info and Game Preview

This Sunday, baseball fans can tune in to NBCSN and Peacock for an exhilarating lineup of MLB action. The day kicks off at 12:00 PM ET with an MLB Sunday Leadoff matchup featuring the Pittsburgh Pirates taking on the Toronto Blue Jays. Later, at 7:00 PM ET, the Texas Rangers will face off against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday Night Baseball.

The Blue Jays are entering this contest on a high note, riding a season-best four-game winning streak, which they extended with a decisive 5-2 victory over Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes on Saturday. The team’s success has been bolstered by stellar pitching and defense, allowing a mere five runs during this impressive stretch.

Looking to complete the sweep on Sunday, the Blue Jays will hand the ball to their ace, Dylan Cease. The 30-year-old right-hander has been phenomenal in his inaugural season with the Jays, boasting a 2.98 ERA while leading the American League with 84 strikeouts across 57 1/3 innings in his first ten starts.

In contrast, the Pirates find themselves struggling as they head into Sunday’s game, having lost two straight and six of their last eight. Their recent slide brings them back to a .500 record of 26-26, placing them at the bottom of the fiercely competitive National League Central division and three games behind a potential Wild Card berth.

To halt this downward trend, the Pirates will rely on right-hander Mitch Keller, who is enjoying the best start of his career. Keller’s record stands at 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA over 58 1/3 innings through his first ten starts.

This week’s edition of MLB Sunday Leadoff will feature former All-Star reliever Matt Capps and World Series champion outfielder Dexter Fowler, joining play-by-play announcer Dave Flemming and reporter John Fanta.
