On May 11th, the Cardinals will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. It is the first Sunday Night game at PNC in over a decade as the Pirates last hosted a Sunday Night game in 2002.

On May 25th, the Cardinals will be on the road playing the Cincinnati Reds. They played last year in a SNB game on June 9th, where the Cardinals scored 7 times in the top of the 10th inning.

After two games on the road, the Cards will host at home on July 20th in a rematch of the 2013 NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Dan Shulman, the voice of Sunday Night, enters his fourth season and is joined in the broadcast booth by John Kruk for the second year in a row and newcomer Curt Schilling. They will be joined by Buster Olney, who has served as a sideline reporter since 2011. SNB has been a staple on ESPN since debuting on April 15, 1990.

On the radio side, Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton will be returning for their fourth season calling SNB on ESPN Radio.
