Preview Roundups
June 12, 2018
Boston at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The visiting Boston Red Sox will try to clinch their fourth straight series win over the Baltimore Orioles when the teams play the second of three straight at Camden Yards on Tuesday. Two sacrifice flies in the top of the 12th inning accounted for all the offense in a 2-0 win for the Red Sox in the series opener Monday night.
Washington at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
The New York Yankees have seen their notoriously loud bats fall silent of late as the club matched a season low with three hits in its last outing and is batting .176 over the last four games overall. The Yankees (42-19) look to avoid hitting the snooze button once again Tuesday when they open an abbreviated two-game interleague series against the visiting Washington Nationals (36-27).
Colorado at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies have been extremely generous to the tune of surrendering 85 runs en route to losing eight of their last 10 to fall below .500 for the first time since April 11. The Rockies (32-33) aim to stop the bleeding Tuesday when they begin a six-game road trip with the opener of a three-game series versus the Philadelphia Phillies (33-30).
San Francisco at Miami 7:10 PM ET
J.T. Realmuto and the Miami Marlins have worn out the San Francisco Giants over the last two seasons, and they'll try to keep that trend alive when the teams continue a four-game series in South Florida on Tuesday. Realmuto was 3-for-4 and slugged the tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning to lift the Marlins to a 7-5 win in the series opener Monday.
Toronto at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
Jake Bauers and Willy Adames provided a glimpse of the future in the series opener and the two 22-year-old rookies look to keep making the present better for the Tampa Bay Rays when they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Bauers launched his first major league homer and was on base four times while Adames knocked in a pair of runs in Tampa Bay’s 8-4 victory Monday.
Minnesota at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers just suffered the scheduling misfortune of having to play three of the best teams in the American League - the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians - in consecutive series and took one game from each opponent. After a well-deserved day off, the Tigers will host the division-rival Minnesota Twins on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series.
NY Mets at Atlanta 7:35 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves begin a 14-game stretch against losing teams when they host the New York Mets on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series. Atlanta is coming off a 2-4 road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles but remains in a virtual tie for first place in the National League East with the Washington Nationals as it tries to improve on its 7-3 record versus New York this season.
Cleveland at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians received a superb pitching performance in the opener of their four-game series and hope for another when they continue the set against the host Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Carlos Carrasco recorded 11 strikeouts while allowing only two hits over seven innings as Cleveland posted a 4-0 victory on Monday to improve to 4-0 against Chicago this season.
Chi. Cubs at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs are back atop the National League Central standings, but they’ll have to continue their dominance over the Milwaukee Brewers to stay there. The visiting Cubs aim for a ninth win in 10 meetings with the Brewers this season when the division rivals play the middle contest of their three-game series on Tuesday.

Cincinnati at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
A pair of last-place teams will square off when the Kansas City Royals host the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday in the opener of a two-game interleague series. The Reds are kicking off a five-game road trip and come in with some momentum after avoiding a sweep and earning a 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
San Diego at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET
Jedd Gyorko loves seeing his former team as the opponent and looks to continue inflicting damage when his St. Louis Cardinals host the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Gyorko ended a 27-game home-run drought by going deep in Monday's 5-2 victory for his ninth blast in 13 career games against the Padres.
Pittsburgh at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
After completing a three-game sweep in Colorado, the Arizona Diamondbacks continued to churn up the offense in the opener of their three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Arizona looks to remain hot at the plate when it hosts Pittsburgh on Tuesday in search of a season-high fifth consecutive victory.
Houston at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
The Houston Astros are in a stretch when they play 33 of 36 games against sub-.500 teams heading into the All-Star break and look to stay perfect when they begin a three-game series Tuesday against the Athletics in Oakland. Houston kicked off a 10-game road trip with a four-game sweep of Texas over the weekend as Jose Altuve went 8-for-16 with a home run, four RBIs and five runs scored in the series to raise his batting average to .342.
Texas at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers have plenty of big names on the roster, but it's a relative unknown that is sparking the club of late. Max Muncy will try to stay hot and power the Dodgers to another win when they host the Texas Rangers in the opener of a two-game interleague series on Tuesday.
LA Angels at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners continued their streaking ways by claiming the series opener and seek another triumph when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Nelson Cruz went deep twice for his 24th career multi-homer performance in Monday's 5-3 victory as Seattle won for the ninth time in 11 games.
