Preview Roundups
April 26, 2016
Philadelphia at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals are rolling along with five wins in their last six games - and the best record in baseball - under first-year manager Dusty Baker. Coming off a sweep of the Minnesota Twins, the Nationals aim to continue their hot start in the series opener Tuesday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
Chi. White Sox at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox entered the series relying on a pitching staff that leads the American League in runs allowed but is learning that the offense can pick up the team if necessary as well. The White Sox will try to clinch a series win when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Baltimore at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays look to produce another big pitching effort when they host the Baltimore Orioles for the middle contest of a three-game series on Tuesday night. The Rays used five pitchers to limit the Orioles to five hits during a 2-0 victory on Monday and can reach the .500 mark for the first time in almost three weeks with a victory as Jake Odorizzi takes the mound.
Boston at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
Matt Wisler is considered a key to the starting rotation Atlanta hopes will return it to postseason competition at some point in the future, and the 23-year-old is getting his chance to face some of top hurlers in baseball early this season. Wisler takes the mound Tuesday against David Price when the Braves host the Red Sox, five days after matching Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in a game Atlanta lost in extra innings.
Oakland at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers have been waiting for Miguel Cabrera to break out of his slump and finally received some production from the star on Monday. Cabrera will try to follow up his two-homer effort when the Tigers host the Oakland Athletics in the second of a four-game series on Tuesday.
Cincinnati at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
Michael Conforto has grown accustomed to batting third in the lineup, and the New York Mets have benefited as a result. Conforto looks to continue his stellar run at the plate as the Mets vie for their 10th consecutive win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday when the clubs play the middle contest of their three-game series.
NY Yankees at Texas 8:05 PM ET
Jacoby Ellsbury is enjoying a strong surge at the plate, even if the New York Yankees collectively aren't having as much success this season. Ellsbury looks to continue his good fortune on Tuesday when the visiting Yankees attempt to secure a series victory against the Texas Rangers.
Milwaukee at Chi. Cubs 8:05 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs have beaten up on division opponents so far this season, and they hope to continue that trend when they host the Milwaukee Brewers for a three-game series that starts Tuesday. The Cubs are 8-2 against National League Central rivals and won 12 of their last 13 games against the Brewers last season. 

Cleveland at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
Michael Brantley will make his long-awaited return to the starting lineup on Tuesday as the Cleveland Indians look to even their series against the Minnesota Twins at one victory apiece. Brantley endured five-plus months of rehabilitation following surgery on his right shoulder in November and made a pinch-hit appearance on Monday night after being activated from the disabled list earlier in the day.
Pittsburgh at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to thrive in Colorado and look to maintain their dominance in Coors Field when they visit the Rockies again Tuesday night. With a 6-1 win in the opener of the four-game series on Monday, the Pirates have claimed six straight in Denver, a streak that dates back to July 27, 2014.
St. Louis at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks bolstered their starting rotation this offseason with the high-profile additions of Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller, but so far the results have not been there. After Greinke struggled and was bailed out by the offense, Miller looks to get into the groove when the Diamondbacks continue a four-game series with visiting St. Louis on Tuesday.
Kansas City at LA Angels 10:05 PM ET
Albert Pujols moved further away from a dreadful slump and elevated himself on the all-time home run list in the opener of the Los Angeles Angels' three-game series with the visiting Kansas City Royals. Pujols snapped a tie with Reggie Jackson (563) with the first of his two blasts to gain possession of 13th place on the career list and looks to continue his sudden hot streak when the Angels and Royals meet again on Tuesday.
Houston at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel attempts to rebound from a miserable outing when the Houston Astros visit the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. Keuchel was touched for six runs and 13 hits in six innings while losing to Texas on Thursday.
Miami at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Miami Marlins vie for their first three-game winning streak of the season when they continue their four-game series against the host Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Miami began its 10-game road trip with a pair of losses at San Francisco but posted a one-run victory in the series finale and did the same Monday in manager Don Mattingly's return to Los Angeles.
San Diego at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
The San Francisco Giants attempt to clinch their second straight series win when they host the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. San Francisco, which took two of three from Miami over the weekend, improved to 3-5 on its 10-game homestand with Monday's 5-4 triumph.
