\"\"<\/a>There are twelve early MLB games this working week, including some bonus baseball on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Giants and Mets were rained out on Sunday, so they will play a double-header on Monday with Tim Lincecum scheduled to make the start in the first game.<\/p>\n

ESPN America will be\u00c2\u00a0showing the game at\u00c2\u00a0Miller Park on Wednesday\u00c2\u00a0between the Astros and Brewers, while it should be a good series in Arizona this week between the D-Backs and Phillies and the second game will be a day-game.<\/p>\n

There are only eight MLB games in total on Thursday and five of them start between 17.05 and 18.10 BST. Nat Coombs and Josh Chetwynd will be presenting\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0Angels-Rays game on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra. It’s also scheduled to be the ‘Free Game of the Day’ on MLB.TV, so you can watch the game there and listen to Nat and Josh’s comments between innings on your Digital radio or on the BBC.co.uk website.<\/p>\n
