If Rob Manfred wants to grow the game, first he’ll end the blackouts and then make sure this series goes seven. People want it. Game 5 outdrew Thursday Night Football:
The Astros’ 3-2 victory over the Phillies on Thursday night, which gave Houston a 3-2 series lead, averaged 12,768,000 viewers on Fox. The Philadelphia Eagles’ 29-17 win over the Houston Texans averaged 7,860,000 on Amazon Prime Video. Both figures were compiled by Nielsen.
The first five games have averaged 11,642,000 viewers on Fox, up 1% from the same point last year and 24% from the five-game average in 2020.
