Preview Roundups
August 09, 2017
Colorado at Cleveland 12:10 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies entered this past weekend with an unblemished 59-0 record when leading after eight innings. Three days later, they are 0-2 in such situations since and will try to rebound from a devasting defeat and salvage a split of a two-game interleague series when they visit the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday afternoon.
Texas at NY Mets 12:10 PM ET
The Texas Rangers look to avoid dropping seven games below .500 for the first time since May 8 but they are only four games out of the second wild card in the American League. The Rangers attempt to salvage a split of a two-game interleague series at the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon before heading back to Texas for a 10-game homestand.
Seattle at Oakland 3:35 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners used an impressive comeback to take the opener and look to make things a bit easier on themselves Wednesday afternoon as they host the Oakland Athletics for the finale of their brief two-game series. Seattle fell behind by four runs on Tuesday before bouncing back for a 7-6 victory as Leonys Martin homered in the 10th inning.
Baltimore at LA Angels 3:37 PM ET
Kevin Gausman seeks his sixth consecutive victory when the Baltimore Orioles conclude their three-game series against the host Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon. Gausman's strong performance has helped Baltimore pull within 1 1/2 games of the second wild-card spot in the American League, which currently is shared by Kansas City, Tampa Bay and Seattle.
Chi. Cubs at San Francisco 3:45 PM ET
The San Francisco Giants just can't win baseball games when Madison Bumgarner takes the mound. The Giants are just 1-8 when their ace starts a contest this season and look to change the trend when they host the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their three-game series.
Miami at Washington 7:05 PM ET
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez flirted with history in his last encounter with the Miami Marlins before seeing his no-hit bid come to a halt following Dee Gordon's single to lead off the ninth inning. The Washington Nationals escaped with a 1-0 victory in that July 31 contest and will welcome the return of Gonzalez from the paternity list on Wednesday when the club continues its four-game series against the visiting Marlins.
NY Yankees at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
Josh Donaldson has made his hits count against the New York Yankees this season, a statement that the 2015 American League MVP underscored on two occasions in the series opener. After belting a pair of two-run homers, Donaldson looks to continue his power surge on Wednesday as the Toronto Blue Jays vie for a series victory in the three-game set at Rogers Centre.
Boston at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox were showing off their offense at the beginning of last week and are leaning on their pitching staff of late, with the two pieces combining to lead the team to seven straight wins. The Red Sox will try to make it eight in a row when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays for the finale of a two-game series on Wednesday.
San Diego at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds took turns pounding each other in the first two of a four-game set. Both clubs will try to find some consistent pitching when the Reds host the Padres on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates are within one game of .500 and are quietly making a bid to challenge for the top of the National League Central. The Pirates will try to stay hot when they visit the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday for the beginning of the second half of a four-game, home-and-home interleague series.
