Angels at Rangers, 8:05 p.m. EDT The Texas Rangers' Yu Darvish has mainly struggled in his three starts since the All-Star break but he had an effective performance against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander will try to produce another such outing Wednesday night while denying the Angels their first three-game win streak in a little more than a month. Darvish (11-7, 4.05 ERA) was among the final players to make the AL roster for the All-Star game but … [Read more...]
Philadelphia (45-57) at Washington (61-40), 7:05 p.m. EDT The Philadelphia Phillies haven't been in last place this late in a season in nearly 10 years, finding themselves in an unfamiliar position at the non-waiver trade deadline after winning the last five NL East titles.

Zambrano (4-7, 4.20 ERA) is 0-4 with an 8.00 ERA in his last six outings. It matches his longest career winless run with the Cubs from Aug. … [Read more...]
St. Louis (46-41) at Cincinnati (48-38), 8:05 p.m. EDT The All-Star break hasn't seemed to slow down the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds. If they are to extend their winning streak to six and complete a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, though, they'll need to do it without their ace.
