Preview Roundups
July 17, 2019
NY Mets at Minnesota 1:10 PM ET
The New York Mets have a chance to match their longest winning streak of the season when they cap a two-game interleague series at the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon. Edwin Diaz got slugger Nelson Cruz to pop up with the bases loaded in the ninth to finish off the Mets' 3-2 win in the series opener, giving New York three consecutive victories for the first time since a four-gamer in May.
Pittsburgh at St. Louis 1:15 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates finally posted their first victory since the All-Star break and now they will try to win a series when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals for the rubber match of a three-game set Wednesday afternoon. Colin Moran and Kevin Newman each knocked in a run in the ninth inning as the Pirates earned a 3-1 victory Tuesday after dropping the previous four contests by a combined score of 29-10.
Atlanta at Milwaukee 2:10 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers host the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday in the final meeting between the two teams this season, and nobody may be sadder than Keston Hiura. The Brewers rookie second baseman has feasted on Atlanta pitching in five games this season, going 3-for-3 with two RBIs in Tuesday’s 13-1 victory that evened the three-game series, improving to 10-for-19 with two homers, four extra-base hits, five runs scored and four RBIs against the Braves.
Cincinnati at Chi. Cubs 2:20 PM ET
Kyle Schwarber looks to homer for the fourth consecutive game when the Chicago Cubs complete a three-game home set against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon. Schwarber hit the game-winning blast in the 10th inning on Tuesday as the Cubs recorded a 4-3 victory to even the series at one win apiece.
San Francisco at Colorado 3:10 PM ET
The San Francisco Giants look to complete a four-game sweep when they visit the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday afternoon. The Giants posted an 8-4, 10-inning victory on Tuesday and have outscored the Rockies 29-7 in the first three contests of the series.
Seattle at Oakland 3:37 PM ET
Two teams heading in opposite directions square off on Wednesday afternoon, when the streaking Oakland Athletics host the struggling Seattle Mariners for the finale of their two-game set. Oakland extended its winning streak to five games as it posted a 9-2 victory in Tuesday's series opener.
Tampa Bay at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays were poised to win their fourth consecutive contest against the New York Yankees before Aaron Judge ignited a six-run uprising to even the four-game series at one win apiece. The Yankees aim to ride the momentum of their late rally into Wednesday's contest when the American League East rivals reconvene in the Bronx.
LA Dodgers at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The Philadelphia Phillies overcame a lopsided loss in the series opener and a blown save opportunity in the following game with a stirring ninth-inning rally to even their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies hope that spark lights a fire as they host the Dodgers in the third contest of the four-game set on Wednesday.
Washington at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals will try to avoid looking too far ahead when they wrap up a two-game interleague series at the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The Nationals coasted to an 8-1 win in Tuesday's series opener to get within 6 1/2 games of the first-place Atlanta Braves - who host Washington for four games beginning Thursday - in the National League East.
Toronto at Boston 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox have seen their pitching become rather generous of late, with the opposition scoring 36 runs to hand the reigning World Series champions losses in three of their last four games. The Red Sox will look to get it gear on Wednesday when they play the third contest of their four-game series against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays.
Detroit at Cleveland 7:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians look to produce another strong effort on the mound when they host the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night after taking the first two of the four-game series between American League Central rivals. Four pitchers limited the Tigers to one hit, sandwiching a two hour-plus rain delay, as Cleveland recorded an 8-0 victory Tuesday to pull within five games of first-place Minnesota.
San Diego at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The San Diego Padres were trending upward at the All-Star break but have lost four in a row since and fallen four games under .500 for the first time this season. With their wild-card hopes hanging in the balance, the Padres look to get untracked Wednesday as they continue their three-game series against the host Miami Marlins.
Arizona at Texas 8:05 PM ET
Two teams looking to remain in the wild-card chase meet Wednesday as the Texas Rangers conclude their two-game interleague series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Texas welcomed back injured All-Star Hunter Pence to the lineup on Tuesday but suffered its third straight loss after collecting just five hits in a 9-2 defeat.
Chi. White Sox at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals have been firing on all cylinders since returning from the All-Star break, and it was quite evident in Tuesday's blowout victory. The club looks to improve to 5-1 on its seven-game homestand when it takes on the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game series.
Houston at LA Angels 10:07 PM ET
Mike Trout is hopeful of returning to the lineup when the Los Angeles Angels host the Houston Astros on Wednesday for the third contest of their four-game series. Trout missed the first two games of the set with a right calf strain but plans to lobby to be in the lineup as the Angels look to match a season best with their sixth consecutive win.
