MLB Network to simulcast Vin Scully's last Dodger Stadium game Sunday image

Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully's last game from Dodger Stadium will be carried Sunday by MLB Network as part of its live-game schedule through Sept. 26, the network announced Wednesday.

The NL West-leading Dodgers host the Rockies at 4 p.m. ET Sunday, and MLB Network will simulcast the SportsNet LA's production of the game. (The game will be blacked out in the Dodgers' and Rockies' home territories.)

Scully, 88, announced this month that he wouldn't be calling Dodgers postseason games, meaning Sunday's game — scheduled for the day after "Vin Scully Appreciation Day" at Chavez Ravine — will be his last in L.A.

The Dodgers close the regular season on a six-game road trip, the final three games in San Francisco, where Scully will close his career calling a Giants-Dodgers contest Oct. 2.

There has been a push for MLB Network to also carry that final game on the regular season's last day, when multiple playoff spots potentially could be determined. The network isn't expected to announce its final-weekend schedule until next week.
