Preview Roundups
May 22, 2017
Kansas City at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
Salvador Perez carried a nine-game hitting streak into last week's home series against the Yankees, only to go 1-for-10 as the Kansas City Royals dropped two of three to New York at Kauffman Stadium. Perez's one hit was a two-run homer off Michael Pineda, and the two will meet again on Monday as Kansas City opens a four-game set at Yankee Stadium.
Minnesota at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles own the majors' best home record despite seeing their eight-game winning streak at Camden Yards come to a halt in their last time out. The Orioles look to get back on track Monday when they open a three-game series against a Minnesota Twins team that has made itself at home in opponents' ballparks for much of this season.
Colorado at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies have not lost a series in nearly a month and the Philadelphia Phillies have not won one during that the same time frame. The National League-leading Rockies will be looking to keep that streak intact when they wrap up a 10-game road trip with the first of four contests against the skidding Phillies on Monday night.
Cleveland at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians look to build off an inspiring sweep of the top team in the major leagues when they visit the struggling Cincinnati Reds on Monday for the opener of their four-game, home-and-home Ohio Cup series. The Indians were puttering along at one game over .500 before taking three in a row in Houston over the weekend as Yan Gomes homered and knocked in five runs in Sunday's 8-6 victory.
LA Angels at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays and visiting Los Angeles Angels - both showing improvement in the early season - take identical records (23-23) into a four-game series that opens on Monday. The Rays have won their last three series after taking two of three from the New York Yankees over the weekend, while the Angels have captured five of their last seven contests, including a 12-5 road victory over the New York Mets on Sunday in which they belted four home runs.
Pittsburgh at Atlanta 7:35 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves have won three consecutive series and hope to keep rolling when they begin a four-game home set against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Atlanta took two of three in Miami and won three of four at Toronto before falling just short of sweeping Washington on Sunday, when it dropped a 3-2 decision in the finale of their three-game series.
San Francisco at Chi. Cubs 8:05 PM ET

The atmosphere might not be quite as intense when the San Francisco Giants return to Wrigley Field for the first time since October for a four-game series that begins Monday. The stakes are high, however, as the Giants and host Chicago Cubs look to continue their momentum after underachieving starts to the season.

Detroit at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros seek their first victory on their 10-game homestand when they begin a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Houston concluded a 6-1 road trip with four straight wins before kicking off its lengthy string at Minute Maid Park with three setbacks against Cleveland, including an 8-6 defeat on Sunday.
Chi. White Sox at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox have turned things around on their 10-game road trip after a disastrous start and look to continue their surge when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday for the opener of their three-game interleague series. Chicago lost the first four games on its trek but are coming off three straight wins over Seattle in which it allowed a total of three runs.
