The Arizona Diamondbacks have very little time to dwell on a crushing setback as they visit the Colorado Rockies on Thursday afternoon for the finale of their four-game series. Arizona was two outs away from drawing within 1 1/2 games of first-place Colorado in the National League West before DJ LeMahieu belted a walk-off, two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Rockies a 5-4 victory.

Mother Nature prevented the Miami Marlins and New York Mets from playing their scheduled doubleheader on Wednesday, with a 5-hour, 35-minute rain delay limiting the struggling National League East clubs to just one game in front of a sparse crowd. The Marlins (57-87) and Mets (66-78) will attempt to squeeze in a single-admission doubleheader on Thursday when they reconvene at Citi Field in New York.

The Chicago Cubs’ quick trip back to the nation’s capital takes place as their lead in the National League Central has been trimmed to the narrowest of margins. The Cubs will try to preserve their one-game edge over Milwaukee when they face the host Washington Nationals in a makeup game on Thursday.

The red-hot Oakland Athletics only needed to score in one inning en route to a sixth straight victory and now can complete a three-game sweep when they visit the major league-worst Baltimore Orioles in Baltimore on Thursday. The Athletics sent 15 batters to the plate while scoring 10 times in the third inning of Wednesday's 10-0 victory, remaining three games behind first-place Houston in the American League West and climbing within one of the New York Yankees for the first wild-card spot.

The Boston Red Sox reached the century mark in wins for the fourth time in franchise history due in large part to strong starting pitching and a rather fortunate bounce that allowed Rafael Devers to score the game's only run on a wild pitch. The Red Sox (100-46) aim to continue their mastery of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays (65-80) at Fenway Park on Thursday when they bid for the second sweep of their American League East rivals this year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hot on the heels of the Colorado Rockies in the National League West and right behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card. Winners of five straight division titles, Los Angeles will look to make up ground in both races when they send Clayton Kershaw to the mound for Thursday's opener of a huge four-game series in St. Louis.

Fresh off winning two of three against the New York Yankees, the Minnesota Twins embark on a 10-game road trip that begins Thursday with the opener of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Minnesota, which is 24-47 away from home, also has three-game sets in Detroit and Oakland on its final trek of the campaign.

The Seattle Mariners' postseason hopes continue to fade and they look to break out of their deep funk when they open a four-game series against the host Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Seattle has dropped 10 of its last 15 games to fall 9 1/2 games behind the Oakland Athletics for the American League's second wild-card spot.
