Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Kansas City Royals take the field against the Chicago Cubs in Week 8 of the regular season on Friday, May 29 at 4:05 p.m. EST at the beloved Wrigley Field in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the afternoon ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While Kansas City snags a top spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings), Chicago only lags a bit behind:

Royals (1): "The Royals have yet to lose three games in a row, even though the team's batting line has declined from .306/.362/.450 in April to .265/.306/.410 in May. After taking two of three from St. Louis, 14 of their next 20 are on the road." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

Kansas City snags an impressive 28-18 winning record.

Cubs (9): "The Cubs currently have two hitters in the NL's top 10 for offensive WAR, Anthony Rizzo (second at 2.2 WAR) and Kris Bryant (10th at 1.6 WAR)." Joe Aiello, View from the Bleachers 

With that somewhat neutral ranking, Chicago currently holds 25 wins and 21 losses.

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