Preview Roundups
July 05, 2016
Cincinnati at Chi. Cubs 2:20 PM ET

The visiting Cincinnati Reds have proven the perfect cure for all that ails Chicago, and the Cubs hope to continue that trend Tuesday in the second of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Chicago snapped a four-game skid with a 10-4 win the series opener, improving to 10-1 in the season series. 

Atlanta at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
A difficult June swoon may have diffused the Philadelphia Phillies’ early-season momentum, but Peter Bourjos has led his team’s offensive renaissance over the past two weeks. Philadelphia hosts the Atlanta Braves in the middle contest of a three-game series Tuesday, one day after Bourjos extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games as the Phillies cruised to an 8-2 victory in the series opener to win for the sixth time in seven contests.
Milwaukee at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers found the simplest way to end a losing streak, courtesy of a superb pitching performance by rookie Junior Guerra. Milwaukee snapped a four-game skid with a 1-0 victory Monday and looks to make it two straight over the host Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
Kansas City at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays could not put together enough big innings on offense to overcome the Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship Series last fall but are having better luck in the regular season. The Blue Jays will try to clinch a win in the three-game series when they host the Royals for Game 2 on Tuesday.
Texas at Boston 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox responded to their most embarrassing loss with a pair of wins and will try to make it three in a row when they host the Texas Rangers in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday. The starting pitching is still not locking down opposing offenses, but the Red Sox offense is back to bludgeoning the opposing staff.
Detroit at Cleveland 7:10 PM ET
The American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians look to continue their dominance over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday as they host their division rivals for the middle contest of their three-game set. After following a 14-game winning streak with a pair of losses at Toronto in which it allowed a total of 26 runs, Cleveland returned home Monday and waited out a 2 1/2-hour rain delay to post a 5-3 victory - its 12th in a row at home.
LA Angels at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays look to build off a rare victory and continue their success in the season series when they host the struggling Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday in the second of a four-game set. The Rays edged Los Angeles 4-2 on Monday afternoon and have won all four games this season against the Angels, who suffered their 12th loss in the last 14 contests.
Miami at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
A sweep at the hands of National League East-leading Washington appears to have served as a wake-up call for the New York Mets, who go for their sixth consecutive victory in the middle contest of their three-game set versus the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The Mets erased a six-run deficit to stun Miami 8-6 in the series opener.
Pittsburgh at St. Louis 8:09 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates can match their longest winning streak of the season when they visit the National League Central-rival St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Pirates have won five in a row - all on the road - and eight of 10 to move back over the .500 mark for the first time since June 15 after Monday’s 4-2 victory in the first of four against the Cardinals.
NY Yankees at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox finally put an end to one streak but more importantly kept another one intact in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting New York Yankees. The White Sox will go for their fourth consecutive victory when they continue their three-game set Tuesday night versus New York.
Seattle at Houston 8:10 PM ET
George Springer has gone deep in back-to-back games and his next homer will match the career-best 20 he hit as a rookie in 2014. Springer seeks to make an impact again on Tuesday when the Houston Astros host the Seattle Mariners in the middle contest of a three-game set.
Oakland at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
Coco Crisp is heating up after a frigid start and attempts to extend his hitting streak to 12 games when the Oakland Athletics visit the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday in the middle contest of a three-game set. Crisp delivered the tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh inning on Monday to provide the Athletics with a 3-1 victory.
San Diego at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
The San Diego Padres look to continue their recent success on the road and climb out of the basement in the National League West at the expense of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who host the middle contest of their three-game set on Tuesday. San Diego claimed an 8-4 decision in the series opener for its fifth victory in its last seven road games and third in four overall contests.
Baltimore at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
Corey Seager attempts to continue his assault of opposing pitchers while the Los Angeles Dodgers vie for their sixth consecutive victory when they host the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game interleague set. Los Angeles improved to 4-0 on its 10-game homestand on Monday, rallying from a three-run deficit to post a 7-5 win in the series opener.
Colorado at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
Madison Bumgarner traditionally tortures the Colorado Rockies with both his arm and his bat. The San Francisco ace will attempt to inflict more damage on Tuesday, when the Giants host the Rockies in the middle contest of their three-game series.
