NESN will air the first complete Boston Red Sox game in franchise history to feature an all-female broadcast booth during Tuesday night’s matchup against the Kansas City Royals, the regional sports network announced Friday.

Portland Sea Dogs announcer Emma Tiedemann will provide play-by-play coverage, while NESN reporter Alanna Rizzo will handle color commentary. Kasey Hudson, who joined NESN through its Women of NESN “Emerging Talent” program, will report from the sidelines.

The studio portion of the broadcast will also be led entirely by women. NESN reporter Natalie Noury will anchor studio coverage, joined by The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey as analyst. Amy Kaplan will serve as game producer, and Anna Gregoire will lead studio production.

First pitch at Fenway Park is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Eastern Time. The game will air live on NESN and stream on NESN 360.
