Toronto at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The city of Baltimore is unlikely to get back to business as usual anytime soon, but the Orioles will try to aid that process as they play in front of their fans for the first time in over two weeks on Monday when they open a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Orioles wrapped up the first third of what was supposed to be a nine-game homestand on April 26, but rioting in Baltimore caused two postponements and another home game to be played in front of an empty stadium.
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
Gerrit Cole looks to start a new winning streak and the Pittsburgh Pirates hope to build off a strong weekend when they open a four-game series Monday at the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pirates snapped a five-game losing streak Thursday and then took two of three from National League Central leader St. Louis to move within one game of .500.
NY Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
Eight-time All-Star Carlos Beltran looks to build on a mini-surge when the New York Yankees visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday to begin a four-game series. Beltran is 4-for-9 with four RBIs in his last three games to raise his batting average to .210, including his first homer of the campaign in Sunday’s 6-2 triumph over Baltimore that gave the Yankees a 7-3 mark in May.
Atlanta at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Much is made of Johnny Cueto’s pending free-agent status, but there is another right-hander for the Cincinnati Reds who stands to be a big catch in the offseason. Mike Leake takes the mound Monday as the Reds host the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a three-game series, possessing a 16-inning scoreless streak after back-to-back outstanding eight-inning performances.
Chi. White Sox at Milwaukee 7:20 PM ET
Starter Jeff Samardzija returns from a suspension as the Chicago White
Sox open a three-game road series against the Milwaukee Brewers on
Monday. Samardzija received a five-game suspension due to his
involvement in an on-field incident against Kansas City on April 23 and
began serving his penalty last Wednesday.
Kansas City at Texas 8:05 PM ET
The Texas Rangers look to improve upon their poor play in their own ballpark as they kick off a seven-game homestand Monday with the opener of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Texas is a major league-worst 3-9 at home, winning only one of its last seven contests at Globe Life Park.
NY Mets at Chi. Cubs 8:05 PM ET
The surprising New York Mets seem to have rebounded from their first rough patch of the season and aim for their third straight win and their fifth in six games when they open a four-game road series against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The Mets lost three straight series before sweeping two games from Baltimore and taking two of three in Philadelphia over the weekend.
Washington at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
Bryce Harper looks to inflict some more damage with his hot bat when the Washington Nationals open a three-game series against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Harper is 10-for-16 with six home runs and
13 RBIs over his last four games while Washington is sailing with 10
victories in its last 12.
Boston at Oakland 10:05 PM ET

Boston Red Sox open a three-game series against the host Oakland
Athletics on Monday. Porcello has allowed one run over 14 innings in the
strong outings while defeating Toronto and Tampa Bay.
Miami at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to extend their winning streak to four games when they begin a seven-game homestand with the opener of a three-game series against the Miami Marlins on Monday.
