On Tuesday night, the Texas Rangers (26-25) will host the Chicago White Sox (23-26) in the first game of a three-game series at Globe Life Park. 

For the Rangers, Colby Lewis will be taking the mound to start. Lewis comes into the game with a 4-3 record and 4.70 ERA. He will look to rebound from his last start, in which he gave up 10 runs in only 2.2 innings to the Cleveland Indians. 

Chicago will be sending out Jeff Samardzija to start tonight's game as the veteran right-hander looks to improve his 4-2 record and avoid his first loss since April 29.  

Josh Hamilton has settled back in with the Texas Rangers, but the five-time All-Star is currently limited by a hamstring injury.

The Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper has been one of the best players, if not the best player, in baseball this season. It's hardly surprising that he's leading the National League MLB All-Star Game voting by a landslide margin in the latest update.    

MLB Communications on Twitter passed along that update:

The Toronto Blue Jays and Washington Nationals locked horns in a low-scoring matchup Tuesday afternoon.

Virtually no one got on base, partially due to Josh Donaldson doing his best Nightcrawler routine out there.

Bryce Harper is one of the best young players in baseball, and he's also bringing fresh style to the game. Fashion in the MLB doesn't take center stage the same way it does in the NBA, but that doesn't mean there aren't sharp-dressed players out there. 

San Diego Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner recorded an unusual stat line in Monday's 7-0 loss to the New York Mets, becoming the first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to allow 10 or more hits while striking out 10 or more batters over fewer than five innings, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN.com).

The Colorado Rockies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3 behind a three-RBI day from Michael McKenry, in the first game of a doubleheader at Coors Field on Tuesday.

The ignored sibling of sports selection processes, the MLB amateur draft doesn't receive all-out fanfare due to its unpredictability.

More than any other major sport, superstars are snagged in late rounds while top picks fizzle spectacularly. Signability issues also cloud the event, and patience is required with prospects spending years honing their craft in the minor leagues.

The Oakland A's record is disappointing two months in, so naturally, there's already chatter about the team trading stars.

The New York Yankees spanked the Seattle Mariners 7-2 Monday night, thanks largely to a nuclear meltdown by Felix Hernandez.

After three innings of solid pitching, Hernandez buckled under some unseen force and began handing out walks, one of which Alex Rodriguez gladly accepted to advance to first in the fourth inning.
