Michaels and Costas will call the game for MLB Network's broadcast, marking their first time covering an MLB game together, and the first MLB game Michaels will call since 1995. Earlier in his play-by-play career, Michaels worked in the Giants' 1974 broadcast booth.
Kuiper, a seven-time local Emmy Award winner and former Major League infielder for the Cleveland Indians (1974-1981) and Giants (1982-1985), has been broadcasting with Comcast SportsNet Bay Area for 18 seasons. Krukow, color analyst for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, is spending his 21st season in the TV booth after a 14-year career pitching in the Major Leagues for the Chicago Cubs (1976-81), Philadelphia Phillies (1982) and Giants (1983-89).
In 2010, the Comcast SportsNet Bay Area on-air team was ranked by GQ magazine as one of the top local broadcast booths in all of baseball.
