Preview Roundups
April 07, 2019
NY Yankees at Baltimore 1:05 PM ET
The New York Yankees followed the script and used their power in order to record a comeback win last time out. New York vies for a three-game sweep on Sunday as it visits the Baltimore Orioles for the series finale.
Minnesota at Philadelphia 1:05 PM ET
After averaging a shade over eight runs in their first six games of the season, the Philadelphia Phillies finally saw their offense bottled up Saturday in their first home loss of the season. The Phillies will look to get their offense back on track in Sunday's rubber match of a three-game interleague series versus the visiting Minnesota Twins.
Toronto at Cleveland 1:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians have gotten their offense in gear since returning home from a rough first series of the season and look to finish off a four-game sweep of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon. The Indians scored five times while losing two of three in frigid Minnesota to open 2019, but have won four of five since after Saturday’s 7-2 victory - their highest output of the season.
Kansas City at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers have turned things around after an inauspicious start to the season that saw the club score in just one of their first 34 innings. The Tigers will look to extend their winning streak to five and send reeling Kansas City to its sixth straight defeat when they go for a three-game sweep of the visiting Royals on Sunday afternoon.
Washington at NY Mets 1:10 PM ET
Max Scherzer is second in the National League in strikeouts but that is all the three-time Cy Young Award winner has to show for his efforts is a pair of losses. Scherzer looks to break into the win column and avenge a season-opening loss to the New York Mets when he makes his third start in the rubber match of a three-game set at Citi Field on Sunday.
Miami at Atlanta 1:20 PM ET
The offensive highlights were few and far between for the Miami Marlins during the first full week of the season, but they have a shot at winning a road series when they visit the Atlanta Braves for the finale on Sunday thanks to the power of Jorge Alfaro. Miami's catcher belted two home runs in Saturday’s 4-2 victory, snapping the team's four-game losing streak and giving the 25-year-old three blasts in eight games with his new team.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 1:35 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates will try to complete a rare four-game sweep of the visiting Cincinnati Reds when the National League Central rivals go head-to-head on Sunday. The Pirates shut out the Reds 2-0 in each of the first two games of the series before claiming a 6-5 win in 10 innings on Saturday.
Seattle at Chi. White Sox 2:10 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners hope to continue their record-setting power display when they visit the Chicago White Sox on Sunday in the rubber match of their three-game series. Seattle, which is off to the best start in franchise history at 8-2, leads the majors in home runs with 24, and has homered in its first 10 games for the first time in club history.
Oakland at Houston 2:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros are enjoying the comforts of home after beginning the season with a 2-5 road trip. Houston attempts to complete a three-game sweep when it hosts the Oakland Athletics on Sunday in the finale of their series.
Chi. Cubs at Milwaukee 2:10 PM ET
The pitching staff - especially the bullpen - has been a concern for the Chicago Cubs, but the offense is just fine. The Cubs will try to keep the runs coming and claim their first series victory of the season when they play the rubber match of their three-game set against the host Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
San Diego at St. Louis 2:15 PM ET
The San Diego Padres try for a three-game sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday with Manny Machado already paying dividends on his club-record, 10-year, $300 million contract. Machado and Austin Hedges belted two-run homers in the eighth inning to lift San Diego to a 6-4 victory Saturday and a 6-3 start to the campaign.
Tampa Bay at San Francisco 4:05 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays' pitching staff had a rare off-day on Saturday, and it led to the San Francisco Giants' biggest offensive explosion of the season. After watching their lethargic bats come alive in their last contest, the Giants hope to string together back-to-back victories and win a series for the first time this year when they host the Rays on Sunday for the rubber match of their three-game interleague set.
Texas at LA Angels 4:07 PM ET
Los Angeles star center fielder Mike Trout doesn’t figure to see many good pitches Sunday when the Angels face the visiting Texas Rangers in the finale of a four-game series. The two-time MVP has been a one-man wrecking crew over the past three days for the Angels, who snapped a five-game losing streak on Friday before posting a 5-1 victory on Saturday.
Boston at Arizona 4:10 PM ET
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora understands the growing concern about his struggling team, but he’s learned never to overreact in April. After matching the worst start in franchise history through 10 games (2-8), the Red Sox look to avoid a three-game sweep against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
LA Dodgers at Colorado 8:37 PM ET
Alex Verdugo's path to the majors has been blocked by the glut of quality outfielders the Los Angeles Dodgers have employed recently, but he was able to earn a spot on the 25-man roster this season and is making a strong case to stick around for a while. Coming off the best performance of his 61-game major-league career, the 22-year-old outfielder will try to stay hot at the plate when the Dodgers attempt to complete a three-game sweep of the host Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
