B.J. and Justin Upton homered in consecutive at-bats for the first time with the Braves, a feat that brothers had not accomplished in the Majors since 1938.

The Braves completed a clean and cold sweep of the twin bill at Coors Field with a 10-2 romp over the Rockies on Tuesday night.

A few hours before the scheduled first pitch, Tuesday’s game between the White Sox and Indians was postponed due to persistent rain in Chicago. A makeup date has yet to be announced and the teams will play just one game on Wednesday before the Tribe hits the road for Kansas City.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

Bruce Rondon, whose triple-digit fastball made him a closer candidate during Spring Training, earned his first call to the big leagues Tuesday to replace the injured Octavio Dotel.

The problem with Mike Moustakas’ swing, according to manager Ned Yost, is that the third baseman’s front foot is “drifting,” coming forward too soon and giving him little to drive his hands through with.

Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday and will be sidelined for 12 months, the club announced Tuesday.

The Tigers appear to be on the verge of making a decision on Jose Valverde. It isn’t necessarily the promotion to Triple-A Toledo many expected.

For the second time in five days, Mother Nature got the best of the White Sox. Tuesday’s game with the Indians was postponed due to a forecast of rain throughout the evening. The rain began sometime around 1 p.m. CT in Chicago and wasn’t supposed to let up until 2 or 3 a.m. Wednesday.

Assuming everything goes smoothly the next couple of days, look for right-hander John Lackey to take the ball for the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park against the Astros.

When the Brewers started off 2-8, they didn’t panic, and by staying calm and sticking to their fundamentals, they’ve reeled off eight straight wins to get right back in the NL Central mix.

Oswaldo Arcia hit his first Major League homer to lead the Twins to a 4-3 win over the Marlins on Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader at Target Field.

On the coldest Major League game played in Colorado, the ball was flying like a balmy midsummer slugfest. Atlanta scored all of its runs on a trio of long balls, besting the Rockies, 4-3, in a game where the temperature never climbed out of the 20s.

Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy will see noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Gulf Breeze, Fla., for a second opinion after trying to throw off flat ground on Monday and still not feeling quite right.

Last Tuesday, when the Rockies played in temperatures in the 30s, Mets hitters were greeted by the intimidating sight of left-hander Rex Brothers entering a game bare-armed — no sleeves extending from his game jersey. With the game-time temperature this Tuesday at 23 — a record low for a Rockies home game — it was doubtful Brothers would be so brave again.

There is certainly reason for optimism regarding White Sox catching prospect Josh Phegley.

Rockies first baseman Todd Helton said Tuesday morning he hoped to play the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader against the Braves, after suffering a left forearm strain Friday. But with temperatures in the 20s and no way to tell if they would rise or how much, manager Walt Weiss said Helton would “have a hard time talking his way into the lineup.”
