Preview Roundups
October 03, 2014
Detroit at Baltimore 12:00 PM ET
Nelson Cruz settled for a one-year, $8 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles in the offseason and has already proved to be a great bargain. Cruz will look to continue his postseason dominance when the Orioles host the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of their American League Division Series on Friday. Cruz hit a two-run homer in Thursday’s Game 1 victory and has 15 home runs in 35 career postseason games while being a particular pest to the Tigers.
San Francisco at Washington 3:00 PM ET
After being reduced to a spectator during his team's postseason run two years ago, Stephen Strasburg makes his playoff debut Friday as the Washington Nationals host the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of the best-of-5 National League Division Series. The 26-year-old fireballer was held out of the 2012 postseason by Washington in a bid to protect his surgically repaired right elbow.
St. Louis at LA Dodgers 6:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers look to exact revenge for last year's postseason dismissal when they host the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of their National League Division Series on Friday. The NL West champion Dodgers were ousted by St. Louis in six games in the 2013 NL Championship Series, ending their bid for their first pennant since 1988. St. Louis went on to lose to Boston in the World Series in six.
Kansas City at LA Angels 9:30 PM ET
Matt Shoemaker recovered from an oblique injury and draws the start for Game 2 when the host Los Angeles Angels try to even their American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Shoemaker suffered the injury against Seattle on Sept. 15 and was pronounced fit after a bullpen session. “That was the most encouraging thing in coming out of the bullpen,” Shoemaker told reporters Thursday. “It felt like I just played a few days before that instead of being off two weeks.”
