Preview Roundups
June 28, 2016
Texas at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
The Texas Rangers and the Yankees will fight fatigue when New York hosts the second contest of a four-game series Tuesday. Monday’s opener was halted in the ninth inning and delayed 3 hours, 35 minutes because of rain before the Rangers rallied after the delay for a 9-6 victory in a game that ended at 2:44 a.m. ET.
NY Mets at Washington 7:05 PM ET
Matt Harvey's place in the starting rotation was placed in jeopardy after a pair of disastrous starts versus the Washington Nationals last month. While the ensuing results haven't been promising, Harvey has pitched significantly better in his last five outings for the New York Mets heading into the second contest of the three-game set versus the host Nationals on Tuesday.
Boston at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The starting rotation problems for Boston Red Sox are becoming more glaring by the game as the team drifts down in the standings. Rick Porcello will try to break the string of sub-par starts and even the three-game series at one win apiece when the Red Sox visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.
Cleveland at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians continue to mow through their recent schedule and are currently picking on the worst team in the National League. The Indians will try to run their winning streak to 11 straight and clinch a series win when they visit the Atlanta Braves in the second of a three-game interleague set on Tuesday.
Miami at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers will look to bounce back from a brutal weekend when they wrap up a nine-game homestand with a two-game interleague series against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. The Tigers opened the homestand with a four-game sweep of Seattle but were decimated in a three-game series versus Cleveland to fall seven games behind the Indians in the American League Central.
Chi. Cubs at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs love hitting at Great American Ball Park. They’ve scored 49 runs in five games there – four wins – heading into the second contest of a three-game road series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. 

Minnesota at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox are trying to climb back into contention following a dismal month-long tailspin when they continue a six-game homestand on Tuesday night against the laboring Minnesota Twins. The White Sox, winners of five of seven to pull back to the .500 mark, are in the midst of a stretch when they are playing 12 of 15 games at home leading to the All-Star break.
LA Dodgers at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET
Adrian Gonzalez is experiencing his worst season since becoming a full-time player and is hoping a couple days out of starting lineup will help him get on track. Gonzalez will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the host Milwaukee Brewers after coming off the bench in each of the last two games.
St. Louis at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET

Games at Kauffman Stadium have felt like home contests for the St. Louis Cardinals over the years, but the Kansas City Royals have reclaimed their home-field advantage in the I-70 Series. The Royals look to add to their major league-best 27-10 home record and lock down a series victory over the visiting Cardinals on Tuesday.

Toronto at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
Carlos Gonzalez is enjoying a torrid display at the plate, with former teammate Troy Tulowitzki and the Toronto Blue Jays receiving an up-close-and-personal view of the latest performance. The 2010 National League batting champion looks to keep his hot hand on Tuesday as the Colorado Rockies vie for an interleague series victory against the visiting Blue Jays.
Philadelphia at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
A leaky bullpen served as the only obstacle in Zack Greinke's bid to win an eighth straight start. Greinke will look to get back on the winning track Tuesday, when the host Arizona Diamondbacks attempt to rebound from a shellacking and even the three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies at one victory apiece.
Houston at LA Angels 10:05 PM ET
The surging Houston Astros resume their six-game road trip Tuesday, when they try for their seventh consecutive victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the middle contest of a three-game series. Houston prevailed 4-2 on Monday for its eighth triumph in nine contests and sits 10 games behind equally hot Texas in the American League West after improving to 23-9 in its last 32 games as its 17-28 start is all but forgotten.
Baltimore at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles are in pursuit of the June record for homers in a month but their next two games will be in pitcher-friendly Petco Park against the San Diego Padres. Baltimore has smacked 51 homers this month entering Tuesday's series opener against the Padres and is four shy of the major-league mark set by the 1996 Oakland Athletics.
Pittsburgh at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
Pittsburgh standout Andrew McCutchen is displaying signs of breaking out of a deep June slump as the Pirates open a two-game series against the host Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. McCutchen had two hits in two of the past three games to inch his average up to .211 for the month and two of his three June homers also have come during the stretch.
Oakland at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
The Oakland Athletics have been difficult to face on the road of late and will be even tougher Tuesday as they are expected to activate Josh Reddick for the second contest of their home-and-home four-game interleague series against the host San Francisco Giants. Reddick, who has not played since May 19 because of a fractured left thumb, is hitting .322 with five home runs and 18 RBIs this season.
