There are only seven MLB games scheduled to start before midnight UK time this working week; however they are nicely spread out so Tuesday is the only British evening on which there is no MLB action to follow live.

St. Louis Cardinals fans are treated to three games involving their team this week, starting tonight with Chris Carpenter taking on the Florida Marlins.  Jeff Suppan is scheduled to face the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday before Adam Wainwright takes the mound in a Friday day-game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs.

Outside of those St. Louis games, the highlight of the week comes on Thursday as King Felix Hernandez is on course to pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.  He took a no-hitter into the eighth inning last time out against the Texas Rangers and it’s only his average win-loss record of 12-11, a consequence of the disappointing Mariners team around him rather than Hernandez’s own efforts, that is stopping him from being the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young award.

All times are in BST.
