Privacy search engine DuckDuckGo shared news via a tweet yesterday that it is now displaying Major League Baseball scores and upcoming game schedules via instant answers with content pulled from the Bleacher Report.

Sharing an image of a search for “Giants game,” the DuckDuckGo tweet announced, “It’s #OpeningDay for Major League Baseball and for @BleacherReport Instant Answers.”

The Bleacher Report-powered instant answers appear to be only for the MLB, as other searches for NBA or NHL teams failed to return the same results.

Here’s a screen shot of DuckDuckGo’s MLB instant answer for a “Giants game” search:

Clicking on the individual game-score card will expand the card to show a breakdown of runs per inning, along with hits and error stats for each team.
