Preview Roundups
June 09, 2015
Boston at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox are fresh off their first series sweep of the season and hope to carry some of that momentum on the road when they open a brief three-game trip at the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The Orioles are returning home after taking a series from Cleveland to finish out a 3-4 road trip.
Washington at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
The American League East has been waiting for a breakout team and may have finally found one with the New York Yankees. The Yankees will try to push their winning streak to seven straight and keep Bryce Harper away from the short porch in right when they host the Washington Nationals in the opener of a two-game interleague series on Tuesday.
Milwaukee at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
Left-hander Francisco Liriano has reversed his early-season struggles and looks to register his fourth straight quality start when the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night in the second of a three-game series. The Brewers withstood a pair of rain delays to earn a 2-0 victory Monday, handing Pittsburgh only its fourth defeat in 17 games.
Miami at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays have been mashing opponents into submission and go for their season-high seventh consecutive victory against the visiting Miami Marlins on Tuesday in the second of a three-game series. The Blue Jays have outscored opponents 46-16 during their winning streak and Monday's 11-3 romp gave them at least six runs scored in six straight games for the first time since May 2000.
Chi. Cubs at Detroit 7:08 PM ET

With their longest losing streak in a decade behind them, the Detroit Tigers hope to use a seven-game homestand to build some positive momentum. The Tigers took the final two games of a three-game road set against the Chicago White Sox and hope to keep the winning streak going when they host the Chicago Cubs for a brief two-game series starting Tuesday.

Seattle at Cleveland 7:10 PM ET
Two teams that expected to be closer to first place in their divisions meet when the Cleveland Indians host the slumping Seattle Mariners on Tuesday to begin a three-game series. The Indians are 13-6 in their last 19 contests to pull within two games of .500 while Seattle starts a stretch of eight on the road after a humbling 2-9 homestand.
LA Angels at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The surprising Tampa Bay Rays look to stay hot after a strong road trip when they host the slumping Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday to begin an eight-game homestand. Tampa Bay won seven of the last nine on its 10-game trek, in which it allowed two or fewer runs seven times, and will attempt to improve on an underwhelming 14-16 record at home.
San Diego at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
As the San Diego Padres visit the Atlanta Braves for the second contest of their four-game series on Tuesday, an afterthought in the second of two major offseason deals between the teams continues asserting himself. Atlanta's Cameron Maybin, acquired on the eve of the season opener from the Padres in the blockbuster involving Craig Kimbrel, recorded his fifth consecutive multi-hit performance in Monday’s series opener.
Philadelphia at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds look to match their longest winning streak since a 4-0 start when they continue their three-game series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Reds opened the set with a 6-4 triumph on Monday, reaching Phillies ace Cole Hamels for five runs in six innings to win for the fifth time in their last seven home games.
San Francisco at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
Two months into the season and the New York Mets sit atop the National League East while the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants battle it out with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Both teams will look to make a move forward when the Mets host the Giants in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Houston at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox look to clinch their second series win against the Houston Astros in less than two weeks when they host the middle contest of their three-game series Tuesday. Chicago ended the month of May by taking two of three at Houston and got off to a good start in this set, posting a 3-1 triumph on Monday.
Kansas City at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
Kendrys Morales, who began last season with the Minnesota Twins, quickly tormented his former teammates in his return to Target Field on Monday. Morales clubbed a two-run homer and the visiting Kansas City Royals made the lead stand in a 3-1 victory to forge a tie with Minnesota atop the American League Central entering the middle contest of the three-game series on Tuesday.
St. Louis at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies attempt to clinch their first home series win of the season when they host the St. Louis Cardinals in the middle contest of their three-game set Tuesday. Colorado has yet to capture a series at Coors Field in 2015, going 0-5-4.
Texas at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
Texas’ success on the road has played a big part in helping the team move into second place in the American League West, but the Rangers can point to the inability to beat the Oakland in a series as one of the reasons they trail the Houston Astros for the division lead. Texas, which owns a league-best 19-12 mark away from home, looks to even up its season series with the AL-worst Athletics on Tuesday as the division rivals square off for the first of three games in Oakland.
Arizona at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
Dodger Stadium has become a house of horrors for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have dropped seven straight and 11 of their last 12 matchups at the venerable ballpark. The Diamondbacks look to end the slide Tuesday as they continue their three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who moved one game ahead of San Francisco in the NL West with Monday’s 9-3 series-opening victory.
