Fox Corp. begins its baseball season with its first-ever triple-header on Saturday -- nine hours of games on the Fox broadcast network.

The advertising inventory is sold out, according to Seth Winter, Fox’s head of sports sales, and that includes a fourth “nightcap” game that airs at 9 p.m. New York time on the company’s Fox Sports 1 cable channel.
