Preview Roundups
July 24, 2019
Boston at Tampa Bay 12:10 PM ET
The visiting Boston Red Sox have moved a percentage point ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East and can gain a little more separation when they try to finish off a three-game road sweep Wednesday afternoon. Andrew Benintendi had a pair of RBIs and Christian Vazquez homered as the Red Sox picked up a 5-4 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.
Colorado at Washington 1:05 PM ET
Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner should have plenty of chances to continue his dominance of the Colorado Rockies' pitching staff when the teams play a day-night doubleheader Wednesday in the nation's capital. Turner recorded his second career cycle - both against the Rockies - to lead the Nationals to an 11-1 win in the Tuesday's series opener.
Philadelphia at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
Rhys Hoskins has delivered the key hit in back-to-back extra-inning affairs to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to wins in four of their last five games. Hoskins looks to lead the visiting Phillies to an abbreviated two-game interleague sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Oakland at Houston 2:10 PM ET
The Oakland Athletics hope they have turned around their fortunes in the season series after posting a dramatic victory as they visit the American League West-leading Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon for the rubber match of their three-game set. Matt Olson’s three-run homer in the ninth inning tied Tuesday's contest and Ramon Laureano’s RBI double in the 11th pushed across the winning run as Oakland recorded a 4-3 triumph - just its second in 10 meetings with the Astros in 2019.
Cincinnati at Milwaukee 2:10 PM ET
Eugenio Suarez has been a wrecking ball against Milwaukee's pitching over the past two nights and will look to lead the visiting Cincinnati Reds to a three-game sweep of the Brewers in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon. Suarez clubbed his third two-run homer of the series Tuesday night as Cincinnati beat Milwaukee for the fifth straight time.
Baltimore at Arizona 3:40 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles attempt to win for the fifth time in seven contests when they conclude their three-game set against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon. The Orioles, who belted three homers in Tuesday's 7-2 victory, are looking for their second straight series win.
Texas at Seattle 3:40 PM ET
Mike Leake looks to follow up an outstanding performance when the Seattle Mariners conclude their three-game series against the visiting Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon. Leake took a perfect game into the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday before settling for a one-hit shutout.
Chi. Cubs at San Francisco 3:45 PM ET
The San Francisco Giants are making things difficult for their front office as the July 31 trade deadline approaches, as they've gone on a tear this month and find themselves in the thick of the National League wild-card race. The Giants attempt to continue their surge and complete a three-game sweep when they host the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their three-game series.
Colorado at Washington 7:05 PM ET
Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner should have plenty of chances to continue his dominance of the Colorado Rockies' pitching staff when the teams play a day-night doubleheader Wednesday in the nation's capital. Turner recorded his second career cycle - both against the Rockies - to lead the Nationals to an 11-1 win in the Tuesday's series opener.
St. Louis at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals are finding a way to win a host of close games lately and will try to build off another to gain a fourth straight series win when they continue a four-game set at the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. The Cardinals took the first two games of the series by one run apiece and they've won nine of their last 11 - eight of them by three runs or fewer and four by one.
Cleveland at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
All-Star Marcus Stroman could be making his final start for the Toronto Blue Jays when he takes the mound in the rubber match of their three-game series against the visiting Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. Stroman, who is coming off one of his best efforts of the campaign, often has been mentioned in trade rumors with the deadline looming in a week and his contract expiring at the end of this season.
San Diego at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
Robinson Cano was easily the biggest bust in a disappointing first half for the New York Mets, but he has finally come alive since the All-Star break. Coming off the first three-homer performance of his career, Cano looks to give his team a series win when the Mets continue a three-game home set against the reeling San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.
Kansas City at Atlanta 7:20 PM ET
Lucas Duda helped the Atlanta Braves win the National League East last season, but he hurt his former team with a pinch-hit homer to give the Kansas City Royals a chance at a sweep of a two-game road series Wednesday. Duda came off the bench to belt a solo shot in the eighth inning of Tuesday’s 5-4 victory, helping the Royals win for the eighth time in 11 games since the All-Star break as left fielder Alex Gordon finished a triple shy of the cycle.
Miami at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Miami Marlins began their six-game road trip with four losses during which they were outscored 30-8 before posting an impressive victory over the Chicago White Sox. Miami looks to record its second series win in three tries when it visits Chicago on Wednesday for the finale of their three-game set.
NY Yankees at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
Didi Gregorius recorded a career-best five-hit performance and drove in seven runs to help the New York Yankees overcome a six-run deficit and even their series with the Minnesota Twins at one win apiece. Gregorius and the Yankees will look to provide an encore on Wednesday night when the division-leading clubs reconvene at Target Field.
LA Angels at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
Even by Mike Trout's standards, this has been a particularly noteworthy month for the two-time MVP. Trout has homered 11 times in his last 13 games to lead the surging Los Angeles Angels, who conclude a brief two-game set against the host Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
