Baltimore at NY Yankees 1:05 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles likely will need Kevin Gausman to do something that he has yet to accomplish this season if they wish to avoid a three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium: win a road game. With an 0-9 mark and a 5.32 ERA away from Camden Yards in 2016, Gausman looks to snap the skid on Sunday afternoon as Baltimore attempts to rein in rookie Gary Sanchez and the New York Yankees' offense.
Minnesota at Toronto 1:07 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays have rediscovered their offense while the Minnesota Twins are going the extra mile to find creative methods to continue their losing ways.

The resurgent New York Mets aim for their first series sweep in nearly two months when they host the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game set.

Colorado at Washington 1:35 PM ET
Speedy rookie Trea Turner has made himself comfortable atop the batting order for the Washington Nationals, and the trickle-down effect has aided veteran Jayson Werth, reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper and others. Turner looks to continue his good fortune on Sunday afternoon as the Nationals host the Colorado Rockies in the rubber match of their three-game series.
Seattle at Chi. White Sox 2:10 PM ET
With seven games against the American League’s best team looming in the next two weeks, the Seattle Mariners need every win they can get to stay in the playoff picture.

Tampa Bay at Houston 2:10 PM ET
Alex Bregman produced a total of two hits in his first 10 major league games after being recalled in late July, but the former No. 2 pick overall has been a force for the Houston Astros ever since.

Pittsburgh at Milwaukee 2:10 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates seem to have finally solved Miller Park and now set their sights on a four-game sweep against the host Milwaukee Brewers when the teams finish the set Sunday afternoon.

Cleveland at Texas 3:05 PM ET
The Texas Rangers own the best record in the American League and their play at home has been a major factor in the success.

Atlanta at San Francisco 4:05 PM ET
The San Francisco Giants enter Sunday’s home series finale against the Atlanta Braves looking to keep pace with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West, but need Madison Bumgarner to regain his ace status against baseball’s worst team.

Cincinnati at Arizona 4:10 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks look to bounce back from one of their worst losses of the season Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game series against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.
