Today’s Scoreboard: a full MLB Monday, and the Premier League countdown.
Baseball owns the calendar today with games running across every division, while football fans are five days out from a new Premier League season. Here’s everything live and everything coming up.
MLB — A Loaded Monday Slate
6 games live right nowMajor League Baseball is in full swing tonight, with six games underway simultaneously across the league and several more set for later. Baltimore is running away with it in Tampa, while tight pitchers’ duels are playing out in Toronto and Cincinnati.
The standout so far is Baltimore’s offense, which has put up a double-digit total against the Rays. Pittsburgh’s pitching staff has kept Boston off the board through the early innings, continuing a strong week for the Pirates.
Later tonight: Cubs–Cardinals, Giants–Rockies, Athletics–Rangers, Angels–Royals and Dodgers–Brewers round out the day, with Astros–Mariners closing the slate late.
