Live updates: Best of Tuesday's MLB action
Tuesday night brings a full night of 15 games for our viewing pleasure. We have some real good battles, too, such as the Tigers against the surprising Twins in Detroit, the Yankees visiting the Rays and how about the “natural rivals” Padres and Mariners!
The top billing probably heads to the North Side of Chicago, though, where top pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard will make his big-league debut for the first-place Mets against the up-and-coming Cubs. The Baby Bears have plenty of promising youngsters themselves, starting rookies Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler and Addison Russell. Bryant’s two-run shot was the big blow in the Cubs’ win Monday night, too.
