Preview Roundups
June 08, 2015
Milwaukee at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates are returning home following a 10-game road trip and are hoping the magic they left behind is still hanging around PNC Park. The Pirates will be searching for their seventh straight home victory when they host the Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a three-game series on Monday.
Miami at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
Fresh off an impressive three-game sweep of Houston, the Toronto Blue Jays go for their sixth consecutive victory when they host the Miami Marlins on Monday in the opener of their three-game interleague series. Toronto polished off the American League West-leading Astros with a three-run ninth inning en route to a 7-6 win on Sunday.
San Diego at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
Every starting pitcher endures a bad outing through the course of a season, and Shelby Miller looks to bounce back after his roughest as a member of the Atlanta Braves. Miller takes the mound Tuesday as the Braves host the San Diego Padres seeking to move past last Tuesday’s effort at Arizona, in which he set season-worst marks for runs allowed and walks.
Philadelphia at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Cole Hamels could have a new address by the end of next month, but the left-hander has been one of the few bright spots for the Philadelphia Phillies, who kick off an eight-game road trip Monday with the first of three against the Cincinnati Reds. Hamels, who is 4-1 over his last six starts, is expected to be the most sought-after pitcher at the trade deadline.
Houston at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The surprising Houston Astros are dealing with their first prolonged slump of the season but still pace the American League West. The Astros attempt to bounce back from a demoralizing loss and avoid a fifth straight setback when they visit the Chicago White Sox for the opener of their three-game series on Monday.
Kansas City at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
The battle for supremacy in the American League Central begins when the Minnesota Twins host the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a three-game series on Monday. The Twins avoided a three-game sweep with a win over Milwaukee on Sunday and enter the series with a one-game lead over the Royals.
St. Louis at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals look to continue their winning ways when they visit the Colorado Rockies on Monday for the opener of their three-game series. St. Louis posted its fifth victory in six games Sunday, rallying for a 4-2 triumph over the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Arizona at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
After beginning their seven-game homestand by losing three of four to St. Louis, the Los Angeles Dodgers welcome to town the perfect opponent against which to reverse their fortunes. The Dodgers attempt to extend their home winning streak versus the Arizona Diamondbacks to seven games on Monday as they host their National League West rivals in the opener of a three-game series.
