The beginning of a new month brings getaway day for many teams, and that means afternoon games. All times Eastern.
MLB TV Schedule, 6/1: Giants/Cardinals, Cubs/Astros, Rockies/Dodgers
↵↵
1 p.m., FSN Southwest, Sun Sports: Rangers at Rays. The Rangers need to win to assure themselves of being in first place when Wednesday ends. Colby Lewis pitches against David Price.

2:20 p.m., WGN, FSN Houston: Astros at Cubs. This game is listed here because it's on a national channel, and so you can read this fun fact: before Carlos Marmol's six-run meltdown in the ninth inning Tuesday night, the last Cubs pitcher who had done that -- give up that many ninth-inning runs in a game where the team went into the inning with a lead -- was John McIntyre. Who? Well, if you haven't heard of him, maybe it's because that happened... in 1911.

8 p.m., ESPN, FSN Midwest, CSN Bay Area: Giants at Cardinals. St. Louis came back to win last night; the Giants still trail Arizona by a half game in the NL West. Tim Lincecum faces Jake Westbrook.

10 p.m., ROOT Sports Denver, Prime Ticket: Rockies at Dodgers. No matter how the Dodgers are doing in the standings, listening to Vin Scully is always a treat. Pitching matchup: Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Jon Garland.
