Preview Roundups
July 08, 2017
Milwaukee at NY Yankees 1:05 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers will try to keep alive their longest winning streak of the season when they continue a three-game series at the New York Yankees on Saturday. The Brewers followed up an 11-2 rout of the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Thursday with a 9-4 victory over the Yankees in the series opener.
Houston at Toronto 1:07 PM ET
The Houston Astros continue to dominate opponents on the road and can clinch another winning road trip when they play the third of a four-game series at the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. The Astros pounded out 14 hits en route to a 12-2 victory Friday night to even the series, improving to 3-1 on their current six-game swing and to 21-4 away from home since the middle of May.
Baltimore at Minnesota 2:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins are rolling again as they attempt to get back on top in the American League Central before the All-Star break. The Twins will try to gain a game on the division-leading Cleveland Indians and clinch a series win when they host the slumping Baltimore Orioles in the third of a four-game series on Saturday.
Atlanta at Washington 4:05 PM ET
While the Texas Rangers routinely have flexed their muscles as the weather has gotten warmer this summer, it has taken until the week leading into the All-Star break for the results to show up in the win column. The Rangers eye a fourth straight victory and look to extend their streak of multi-homer efforts to a season-high six games on Sunday, when they attempt to complete a three-game home sweep of the Los Angeles Angels.
Atlanta at Washington 4:05 PM ET

If the Atlanta Braves are going to make a run at the Washington Nationals in the National League East, they might need to upgrade the back end of their bullpen. The Nationals rallied in the ninth inning Friday before recording their seventh walk-off win of the season, and they’ll try to keep the momentum going when they host the Braves for the third of a four-game series Saturday.

San Diego at Philadelphia 4:05 PM ET
After missing the previous two games with a stiff neck, San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges wasn't about to let a long delay in Friday's series opener in Philadelphia keep him from putting a fitting end to a dominant performance. Coming off the first two-homer effort of his career, the 24-year-old backstop looks to power the Padres to a rare series victory against the Phillies on Saturday as the teams continue their three-game set.
Boston at Tampa Bay 4:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox uncharacteristically used the long ball to even the series and hope to build on the momentum when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays for the third of the four-game set on Saturday afternoon. The Red Sox, who are last in the American League with 90 homers, belted three Friday night to pull away for an 8-3 victory after losing the opener with their ace Chris Sale on the mound.
NY Mets at St. Louis 4:10 PM ET
The New York Mets haven't beaten a team with a winning record since June 18, but they aren't having any trouble finding a way around sub-.500 foes. The Mets will try to clinch another series win against a team with a losing record when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals in the second of a three-game set on Saturday.
