Phillips will make his second appearance singing at a World Series when he takes the mic before Game 2 on Wednesday. He last appeared in 2012, the year he won American Idol, when the Giants faced the Detroit Tigers. The singer took to Twitter to announce it himself, writing “I’ll be performing the National Anthem before Game 2 of the #WorldSeries! Tune in to @FoxTV on Wednesday, October 22nd at 8pm ET to watch.”
The series moves to San Francisco on Friday with country group Little Big Town. Santana takes the 4 p.m. slot Saturday for Game 4, when he performs an instrumental version of the song.
The games will air on Fox at 8 p.m. ET.
