Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Chicago Cubs take the field against the Washington Nationals in Week 9 of the regular season on Friday, June 5 at 7:05 p.m. EST at Nationals Park. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Both Chicago and Washington snag rather neutral spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings):

Cubs (10): "On Saturday, the last living Cubs player to participate in the 1945 World Series, Lennie Merullo, passed away at the age of 98. The 1945 season was the last time the Cubs were in the World Series." Joe Aiello, View from the Bleachers 

With that, Chicago currently holds 27 wins and 24 losses and remains 3rd in the National League Central Division.

Nationals (6): "After going 2-4 on their just-completed six-game road trip, the Nationals head home for seven games (three against the Blue Jays, followed by four versus the Cubs)." ESPN.com 

Washington maintains a 29-24 winning record, and hold the 1st spot in the National League Eastern Division.

The ball game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels CSCh and MASN.
