Preview Roundups
June 26, 2018
Washington at Tampa Bay 12:10 PM ET
The rejuvenated Tampa Bay Rays look to extend their home winning streak to eight when they face three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer and the visiting Washington Nationals on Tuesday afternoon. Wilson Ramos launched two homers and Kevin Kiermaier belted a grand slam in an 11-0 rout of the Nationals on Monday for Tampa Bay’s first win in eight interleague contests this year.
Seattle at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
James Paxton looks to move on from back-to-back bumpy starts when his Seattle Mariners visit the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. Paxton has been roughed up for 10 runs and 14 hits - three homers - over 7 1/3 innings while losing one outing and escaping with a no-decision in the other.
NY Yankees at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The New York Yankees snapped their longest losing streak of the season at three contests and now get behind their ace as they continue a three-game interleague series at the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Aaron Judge homered and Giancarlo Stanton had a two-run single to back a combined three-hitter as the Yankees took the series opener 4-2.
Arizona at Miami 7:10 PM ET
Rookie Brian Anderson and Derek Dietrich look to continue their hot hitting in June when the host Miami Marlins go for a fourth straight win Tuesday against the National League West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks. Anderson extended his on-base streak to 22 games with two hits and two RBIs while Dietrich, who is batting .402 since May 31, singled home a run as Miami defeated Arizona 9-5 in Monday’s series opener.
LA Angels at Boston 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox haven't been shy about flexing their offensive muscle this season, and the Los Angeles Angels are painfully aware of that. The Red Sox will play the opener of a three-game series against the Angels on Tuesday, just over two months removed from manhandling the club in the teams' previous meeting in California.
Pittsburgh at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
A visit to the struggling New York Mets was just what the doctor ordered for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who aim for their second straight win at Citi Field when the teams continue a three-game set Tuesday. The Pirates lost five straight games before racing to a 5-0 lead and hanging on for a 6-4 win in the series opener.
Oakland at Detroit 7:10 PM ET

A week ago, the Detroit Tigers were riding a five-game winning streak and sitting just 2 1/2 games off the American League Central lead, but now they’re gasping for air. The Tigers will try to end their slide and cool off the visiting Oakland Athletics in the second of a four-game series Tuesday. 

Cincinnati at Atlanta 7:35 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves have made a habit of thrilling late victories in their rise to the top of the National League East, and second baseman Ozzie Albies continues heating up entering Tuesday’s home contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Albies belted the game-winning homer Monday as the Braves topped the Reds 5-4 in 11 innings, extending his hitting streak to seven games and raising his average in that stretch to .455 as Atlanta earned its 10th victory of the season in its last at-bat.
San Diego at Texas 8:05 PM ET
The red-hot Texas Rangers hope to remain that way as they seek their ninth victory in 10 games when they host the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. The Rangers posted a 7-4 win in the series opener as the torrid Shin-Soo Choo extended his streak of reaching base to 38 games.
Minnesota at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox are at the beginning of a rebuilding cycle but are already encouraged by what they are seeing from their young players. The White Sox will try to ride the young core to another win when they host the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Kansas City at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers got off to a fast start to their homestand with two impressive victories before that momentum was stalled by back-to-back losses. The Brewers aim to regain their footing on Tuesday in the opener of an abbreviated two-game interleague series against the Kansas City Royals.
Toronto at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays look to win their fourth consecutive game when they visit the Houston Astros for the middle contest of their three-game series. The Blue Jays dropped 10 of 11 road games before winning their last three away from home, including Monday's 6-3 triumph against Houston ace Justin Verlander.
Cleveland at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET

St. Louis Cardinals pitchers have been hard to hit for the past four games, and that hasn’t included their ace. Standout right-hander Carlos Martinez will try to follow suit when he takes the mound Tuesday against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber for the second contest of a three-game series against the visiting Indians. 

Chi. Cubs at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a roll since losing the final two contests of a three-game set in the Windy City last week and look to keep it going when they continue their four-game set against the visiting Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. After totaling one run in back-to-back losses at Chicago, the Dodgers have won four straight - including a 2-1 triumph in the series opener.
Colorado at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies were not happy with the way their homestand ended on Sunday and are out to prove they can compete in the National League West when they begin a six-game road trip by visiting the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. The Rockies, who head to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers after finishing up the three-game set against the Giants, dropped into fourth place in the West after the tough weekend.
