Preview Roundups
June 29, 2017
Texas at Cleveland 12:10 PM ET
Corey Kluber is unbeaten in five starts since spending nearly a month on the disabled list and looks to keep his dominating run going when the Cleveland Indians wrap up a four-game series against the visiting Texas Rangers on Thursday afternoon. The Indians improved to 2-4 on their seven-game homestand with a 5-2 victory on Wednesday.
Kansas City at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals will try for their sixth straight series win when they cap a three-game set at the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. After dropping the opener of the series, the Royals utilized homers by Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez to back a solid start by Ian Kennedy in Wednesday's 8-2 triumph.
Oakland at Houston 2:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros attempt to win their second series against the Oakland Athletics in less than two weeks when they host their American League West rivals on Thursday afternoon for the rubber match of their three-game set. Houston evened the set with Wednesday's 11-8 triumph after sweeping a four-game matchup in Oakland from June 19-22.
St. Louis at Arizona 3:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks seek to bounce back from a rare defeat when they conclude their three-game series against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday afternoon. St. Louis posted a 4-3 victory on Wednesday to gain a split of the first two games while the setback was just the fourth in the last 20 games for the Diamondbacks.
Chi. Cubs at Washington 4:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals have used dominant starting pitching to claim the past two games against the visiting Chicago Cubs, but the Cubs hope ace Jon Lester will give them the upper hand in the finale of the four-game series Thursday. The Cubs need a strong outing from Lester after seeing their starters roughed up and knocked out relatively early in back-to-back losses.
Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates are hanging around in the wide-open National League Central race despite being under .500 since mid-April, but can earn their second straight series victory when they host the Tampa Bay Rays in the rubber match of a three-game set Thursday. The Pirates (36-42), who are four games out of first place in the division, recorded four two-out RBIs to even the series with a 6-2 victory on Wednesday night.
Baltimore at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista may be in the midst of a banner week, however the 36-year-old has struggled mightily throughout his career against Ubaldo Jimenez. After homering for the second time in three games, Bautista carries a six-game hitting streak into Thursday's finale of the three-game series against Jimenez and the visiting Baltimore Orioles.
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Scooter Gennett has sweetened the pot by pushing his hitting streak to seven games against the team that waived him in spring training. The 27-year-old Gennett aims to send the cellar-dwelling Cincinnati Reds to a three-game home series sweep of the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
Minnesota at Boston 7:10 PM ET
David Price has allowed fewer than three runs in only one of his six starts as he prepares to take the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday in the finale of their four-game set versus the visiting Minnesota Twins. Max Kepler hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs in Wednesday's 5-2 win by Minnesota, which is seeking a split of the series.
NY Mets at Miami 7:10 PM ET
Curtis Granderson is on a home run binge and his New York Mets have a chance for a second straight series win when they finish a three-game set at the Miami Marlins on Thursday. Granderson's fifth home run in seven games was part of the Mets' 8-0 victory in Wednesday's middle game of the series and gave the club four wins in the past five contests.
NY Yankees at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The New York Yankees have a chance to end a string of four straight series losses when they close out a four-game set against the host Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Aaron Judge belted his major league-leading 27th homer to cap a five-run inning in Wednesday's 12-3 romp as New York won for only the four time in 15 games.
Atlanta at San Diego 9:10 PM ET
The San Diego Padres attempt to win back-to-back series for the first time since early April when they host the Atlanta Braves on Thursday for the rubber match of their three-game set. San Diego, which began its nine-game homestand by taking two of three from Detroit, hasn't captured two straight series since going 2-1 against both San Francisco and Colorado from April 7-12.
LA Dodgers at LA Angels 10:07 PM ET
Clayton Kershaw looks to become the first 12-game winner in the majors this season when the Los Angeles Dodgers complete a stretch of four consecutive games against the Los Angeles Angels when they pay them a visit on Thursday. The Dodgers' ace has won seven consecutive decisions and is limiting opponents to a .207 batting average entering the series finale.
