\"\"<\/a>England’s European Championship quarter final against Italy will dominate Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

However MLB can be the perfect supporting cast, whether you are seeking some light relief during the hour or so before the 19.45. kick-off, a bit of escapism after the game (in the joy of victory or the sorrow of defeat) or a diversion during the game itself (through having no interest in it or being too nervous to concentrate on it fully).<\/p>\n

All times are in BST.<\/p>\n

18.05. Tampa Bay at Philadelphia (Price – Hamels)
\n18.10. Minnesota at Cincinnati (Diamond – Leake)
\n18.10. Toronto at Miami (Chavez – Buehrle)
\n18.35. Washington at Baltimore (Detwiler – Arrieta)
\n18.35. Atlanta at Boston (Minor – Cook)
\n18.35. Detroit at Pittsburgh (Verlander – Correia)
\n19.05. Cleveland at Houston (Lowe – Happ)
\n19.10. Milwaukee at Chicago White Sox (Fiers – Quintana)
\n19.10. St. Louis at Kansas City (Lynn – Sanchez)

\n 01.00. NY Yankees at NY Mets (Sabathia – Dickey) *ESPN<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rays and Phillies fans can enjoy a double-header today after Friday’s series opener was postponed due to rain. The first game should see David Price and Cole Hamels taking to the mound in a match-up between two of the best left-handed pitchers in the sport, and the Alex Cobb-Cliff Lee contest later on doesn’t took too shabby either.<\/p>\n

When looking at the probable pitchers list, Justin Verlander’s name always stands out and he nearly no-hit the Pirates last time he faced them, so that should be a game worth watching, especially as Pittsburgh has won the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

As for the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Game, the latest Subway Series is tied 1-1 heading into the rubber game and you couldn’t ask for a better pitching match-up to end the series and Sunday’s slate of games. CC Sabathia pitched a complete game in his most recent appearance, while R.A. Dickey’s recent form has been utterly mesmerizing, for fans and opposing hitters alike.<\/p>\n

All of these games are available to watch live via the\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>MLB.TV subscription<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0at\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>MLB.com<\/em><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 ESPN America will follow the Dodgers-Angels game with the first game of the College World Series Final between Arizona and South Carolina. The Yankees-Mets game will be broadcast on the main ESPN channel.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
