Preview Roundups
May 03, 2016
Detroit at Cleveland 6:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers have seen their fortunes change since the former swept the latter during their three-game series at Comerica Park from April 22-24. The Indians outscored their American League Central rival 18-5 before losing five of six one-run contests heading into Tuesday's opener of a three-game set versus the visiting Tigers.
NY Yankees at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The sliding New York Yankees look to snap a pair of five-game losing streaks when they begin a three-game series at Baltimore on Tuesday. Although their bats finally broke out after an extended slump, the Yankees fell 8-7 in Boston on Sunday for their fifth consecutive setback, matching their longest skid since a six-game run last May.
Chi. Cubs at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates’ ace in the opener of the National League Central rivals’ three-game series, and now the Pirates need to return the favor to avoid a third straight loss. The visiting Cubs look to reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta to clinch a series victory in middle contest of the set on Tuesday.

Texas at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
Just like when the two teams met in the American League Division Series last fall, the first game between the Texas Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016 was a tight affair. The Blue Jays will try to even the four-game set at one win apiece when they host the Rangers again on Tuesday.
LA Dodgers at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to get their struggling offense in gear as they begin a five-game interleague road trip against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Los Angeles, which later visits Toronto, managed three hits while snapping a six-game slide with Sunday’s 1-0 victory over San Diego behind Clayton Kershaw and produced just 12 runs total in the last seven contests.
Arizona at Miami 7:10 PM ET
A three-city, 10-game road trip likely would be reason enough for a club to welcome its nine-game homestand with open arms. The Miami Marlins haven't fared well in front of their fans, however, and take a less-than-desirable 2-7 home mark into the opener of a three-game series versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Atlanta at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
The New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves are in two very different spots on the competition cycle, and their meetings so far this season have illustrated that fact. The Mets will try to move to 5-0 against their National League East rivals when they host the Braves in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday.
San Francisco at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds figured to go through some growing pains with their young starting pitchers, but it is the bullpen that has been the biggest problem. The Reds will try to stay away from that relief corps when they host the San Francisco Giants in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Boston at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox finally enjoyed a moment to exhale after an exhausting stretch of 19 games in as many days. With a night to catch their breath, the American League-leading White Sox (18-8) return to action Tuesday when they open a three-game series against the visiting Boston Red Sox.
Minnesota at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins recorded a rare road victory in the series opener and look to add another to their tally when they visit the Houston Astros on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Minnesota roughed up defending American League Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel en route to a 6-2 victory that improved its road record to 2-10.
LA Angels at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers vie for their third straight victory as they continue their seven-game homestand with the middle contest of a three-game interleague set against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Milwaukee dropped the first three contests of its stretch at home before routing Miami on Sunday and posting back-to-back four-run innings in an 8-5 triumph in Monday's series opener.
Washington at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
Bryce Harper was named the National League Player of the Month for April,  but the Washington Nationals star is experiencing a dry spell entering the middle contest of a three-game series with the host Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Harper is just 2-for-21 over his last six games and has gone seven contests without a homer after recording a single in four at-bats during Monday's 2-0 series-opening victory.
Philadelphia at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET
After halting a four-game slide in the series opener, the St. Louis Cardinals look to make it two wins in a row as they continue their four-game set against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. St. Louis rallied from an early 3-0 deficit Monday with 10 unanswered runs as starting pitcher Adam Wainwright helped his own cause by going 2-for-2 with a three-run homer.
Seattle at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
Oakland right-hander Sonny Gray has made 79 career starts and none of them have been shorter than his last outing. Gray will seek to rebound from the poor effort when the Athletics host the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday in the second contest of a three-game slate.
Colorado at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
Colorado’s Trevor Story is eager to prove he’s more than a one-month wonder. The 23-year-old shortstop, who was named the National League Rookie of the Month after belting 10 home runs in April, aims to build on his stellar start Tuesday as the Rockies continue their three-game series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
