Mobile Traffic Helps MLB Reach Top 5 In June ComScore Rankings

MLB in June used its rising mobile traffic and the in-season period to continue its rise in monthly comScore multi-platform reach rankings of U.S. sports sites, moving to No. 5 in the month. While most other sites in the category that are heavily dependent on football-related traffic showed seasonal declines, MLB boosted its ranking from the 6th slot it held in April and May. Otherwise, the comScore list generally held form compared to recent months, with the Yahoo Sports-NBC Sports Network digital alliance, ESPN, and Bleacher Report-Turner Sports Network holding the top three spots, respectively. ESPN, as is custom, led in consumption metrics, posting an average of 88.6 minutes per user during the month.
