Preview Roundups
June 28, 2018
Arizona at Miami 12:10 PM ET
Veteran right-hander Zack Greinke looks to continue his hot streak and remain unbeaten in his career against the Miami Marlins when the Arizona Diamondbacks visit for the finale of a four-game series Thursday afternoon. Greinke is 6-0 in 11 games (10 starts) versus the Marlins and has a chance to lead the Diamondbacks to a series victory as well as their 11th win in 13 road contests.
Oakland at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
A winning road trip is always a victory, but the Oakland Athletics have a chance for something far more impressive. The Athletics have won seven of nine on the 10-game trip that wraps up Thursday with the finale of a four-game series against the host Detroit Tigers.
Minnesota at Chi. White Sox 2:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox aim to stretch their winning streak to a season-best four games when they attempt to finish a three-game sweep of the visiting Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Chicago posted a 6-1 victory on Wednesday to win three straight games for just the second time this season, the first coming against the Kansas City Royals from April 26-28.
Seattle at Baltimore 3:05 PM ET
After using late rallies for two straight dramatic wins, the Seattle Mariners will try to complete a four-game road sweep of the struggling Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The Orioles have dropped four in a row overall and 14 of their last 15 home games en route to the majors’ worst record.
Chi. Cubs at LA Dodgers 3:10 PM ET
The home runs keep coming for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who face the visiting Chicago Cubs on Thursday in the finale of their four-game series. The Dodgers belted three homers in Wednesday’s 7-5 victory – including another by red-hot infielder Max Muncy -- and lead the majors with 51 for the month of June.
Colorado at San Francisco 3:45 PM ET
Brandon Crawford is swinging a hot bat and will look to help the San Francisco Giants complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The shortstop delivered a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give San Francisco a 1-0 triumph Wednesday, the club's fourth straight victory.
Washington at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals enjoyed a late offensive uprising to rally for a victory in the finale of last weekend's series against the Philadelphia Phillies. After getting shut out in both contests of an abbreviated two-game interleague set versus Tampa Bay, the Nationals (41-37) look to ignite their offense on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series against the host Phillies (42-36).
Houston at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays closed their last road trip by losing two of three in Houston, but they are perfect on their nine-game homestand as they prepare for a rematch with the Astros on Thursday night. Tampa Bay followed up a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees by taking both matchups of an interleague series versus Washington.
LA Angels at Boston 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox haven't been shy about flexing their offensive muscle against the Los Angeles Angels, although they temporarily let their guard down to see an early six-run lead go by the boards on Wednesday. The Red Sox (54-27) re-ignited their offense to win for the fifth time in as many meetings with the Angels (41-40) heading into Thursday's series finale at Fenway Park in Boston.
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Milwaukee and Cincinnati are at opposite ends of the spectrum in the National League Central, but the last-place Reds are in the midst of their hottest stretch in six years as they prepare to host the Brewers on Thursday in the opener of a four-game set. Milwaukee has won five straight in the series, including a three-game sweep at Cincinnati from April 30-May 2.
