\"\"<\/a>There are 13 MLB games scheduled to begin before midnight U.K. time this working week.<\/p>\n

Fans of the Marlins and Brewers can enjoy three games of their four-game series at a convenient time, while there are two early installments\u00c2\u00a0in the Giants-Nationals series.<\/p>\n

The game at Nationals\u00c2\u00a0Park\u00c2\u00a0on Tuesday only just falls into the pre-midnight bracket, starting at 23.35, although it should be one worth staying up for with Tim Lincecum and Jordan Zimmerman being the probable starting pitchers.<\/p>\n

There is a varied cast of games scheduled for Wednesday, including potential starts by David Price for the Rays and the scuffling Cliff Lee for the Phillies.\u00c2\u00a0 ESPN America concentrated on the X Games event over the past weekend at the expense of live baseball, but they make up for it with a triple bill on Wednesday – alongside early games on Tuesday and Thursday – with the two early games being followed by a Rangers v White Sox game from midnight.<\/p>\n

After taking a break last week, BBC 5 Live Sports Extra will be bringing us some live baseball again this Thursday. The programme is scheduled to start at 19.00 although we’re still awaiting final confirmation on which of the 19.10 first pitch games will be featured (probably Rangers v White Sox) UPDATE:<\/strong> confirmed that it is Rangers v White Sox.<\/p>\n

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