April 15, 2017
Philadelphia at Washington 1:05 PM ET
Daniel Murphy continues to carry the Washington Nationals and will try to help them pick up a fourth win in five contests when they continue a three-game series with the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Murphy raised his average to .444 with a game-winning RBI double in the 10th inning to lift the Nationals to a 3-2 triumph in Friday's series opener.
St. Louis at NY Yankees 1:05 PM ET
The New York Yankees look to continue a perfect homestand when they play the second of three straight games against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Yankees followed up a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium with a 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday in the Bronx.
Baltimore at Toronto 1:07 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles look to win their fourth straight on the road when they visit the struggling Toronto Blue Jays for the third of a four-game set on Saturday afternoon. The Orioles have won seven of their first nine games to open the season after a 6-4 triumph with four homers on Friday while Toronto is still searching for its second victory of the season.
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 1:10 PM ET

The Milwaukee Brewers are over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2014 season, and they’ll try to stay there when they face the host Cincinnati Reds in the third of a four-game series Saturday. The Brewers ran their winning streak to four games with a 10-4 victory Friday.

Chi. White Sox at Minnesota 2:10 PM ET
Right-fielder Avisail Garcia looks to extend his hitting streak to 10 contests to open the season when his Chicago White Sox visit the Minnesota Twins for the second a three-game set on Saturday afternoon. Garcia posted a pair of hits in the 2-1 victory over the Twins on Friday and is 16-for-35 with eight RBIs to start the season after batting .245 in 120 games last season.
Pittsburgh at Chi. Cubs 2:20 PM ET

The Pittsburgh Pirates will try to hand the Chicago Cubs their first series loss since September when the teams play the second of a three-game series Saturday at Wrigley Field. The Pirates snapped a four-game skid with a 4-2 win in Friday’s series opener. 

Colorado at San Francisco 4:05 PM ET
The injury bug continues to plague the Colorado Rockies, whose No. 1 starting pitcher has joined three other key teammates on the disabled list. The Rockies could use a solid outing from Tyler Chatwood on Saturday as they continue their four-game series against the host San Francisco Giants, who snapped out of an offensive slump with 11 hits in Friday’s 8-2 victory.
Houston at Oakland 4:05 PM ET
The Houston Astros hope their offense remains potent when they continue their three-game series against the host Oakland Athletics on Saturday afternoon. Houston was shut out in the opener of its six-game road trip at Seattle but has scored at least seven runs in each of its last three contests - all victories, including Friday's 7-2 triumph over Oakland.
Tampa Bay at Boston 4:05 PM ET
Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will hope for a little more run support when he makes his third start for his new team Saturday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Sale has been exceptional in his first two outings for the Red Sox, but they didn't score until the 12th inning in his team debut and were limited to a run in his second appearance Monday at Detroit.
Detroit at Cleveland 4:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers are in position to win their third straight series and two-time American League MVP Miguel Cabrera is starting to warm up as they visit the Cleveland Indians for the second of a three-game set Saturday. Cabrera homered for the second straight game Friday as the Tigers built a big lead before holding off a furious rally for a 7-6 victory - their seventh in the first 10 games of the season.
NY Mets at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The last thing the Miami Marlins and New York Mets wanted after a 16-inning marathon in their series opener was another extra-inning affair and, thankfully for both sides, J.T. Realmuto was up to the task. After coming through in the clutch in Miami's latest win, Realmuto looks to maintain his impressive start to the season Saturday, when the Marlins continue their four-game home set against the Mets.
San Diego at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves welcomed a number of franchise greats back for the opening of the new SunTrust Field on Friday, and Ender Inciarte made sure the good vibe felt by those in attendance didn't go away after the pregame ceremony. The Braves have won consecutive contests after opening the season 1-6, and they'll look to capture their third in a row Saturday as they continue a four-game series against the San Diego Padres.
LA Angels at Kansas City 7:15 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals haven't finished higher than 21st in the majors in home runs since 2003, but Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez are doing their best to change that. The Royals attempt to win three in a row for the first time this season Saturday as they continue their three-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels.
Arizona at LA Dodgers 9:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ struggles against left-handed pitchers have been well-documented, but manager Dave Roberts is convinced the numbers are due to improve. Roberts likely will stack his lineup with right-handed hitters Saturday as the Dodgers continue their four-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and southpaw Patrick Corbin.
Texas at Seattle 9:10 PM ET
One night after preventing a three-game losing streak, the Seattle Mariners look to make it two wins in a row on Saturday when they host the Texas Rangers for the middle contest of their three-game series. Seattle posted a shutout in its home opener but allowed a total of 17 runs in back-to-back losses to Houston before evening its record on its nine-game homestand at 2-2.
