Preview Roundups
April 24, 2018
Seattle at Chi. White Sox 5:10 PM ET
The first half of the Chicago White Sox's six-game homestand went about as poorly as they could have imagined, but the second half is off to a fine start. Fresh off their first victory in nearly two weeks, the White Sox attempt to win two in a row for the first time since the beginning of the season when they continue their three-game set against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.
Chi. Cubs at Cleveland 6:10 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs return to the scene where they ended a 108-year drought when they open a two-game interleague series against the host Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. It’s the Cubs’ first trip to Progressive Field since winning Game 7 of the 2016 World Series there to capture their first championship since 1908. 

Minnesota at NY Yankees 6:35 PM ET
The New York Yankees' offense is beginning to flex its muscle amid an impressive three-game winning streak, but it will be tested by red-hot right-hander Jose Berrios in the continuation of a four-game series with the visiting Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Berrios entered Monday's action leading all qualified hurlers in the majors with a 0.58 WHIP and will contend with a Yankees team that has outscored opponents 28-3 during its three-game run.
Atlanta at Cincinnati 6:40 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds are off to their worst start in franchise history, but enter the second of a four-game home series Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves looking to build off one of their best performances of the young season. The Reds, who had scored just seven runs in their previous five games entering Monday’s series opener, plated that many runs in the fifth and sixth innings en route to a 10-4 victory - Cincinnati’s fourth triumph in 22 games.
Tampa Bay at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays began turning their season around on their just-completed homestand and hope to translate that strong play on the road when they visit the slumping Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night to open a nine-game trip. Tampa Bay, which started the campaign 1-8, is riding a season-high four-game winning streak and scored 26 times while sweeping three contests from Minnesota over the weekend.
Arizona at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
The Philadelphia Phillies have raced off to their best home start since 1964 while the Arizona Diamondbacks' 15-6 overall mark matches their best 21-game start in franchise history. Winners of four in a row and 13 of 16 overall, the Phillies (14-7) vie for their eighth straight win at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday when they play the opener of a three-game set against the Diamondbacks.
Detroit at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates totaled five runs while getting swept in a four-game series at Philadelphia over the weekend and are losers of six of their last seven. The Pirates will try to turn things around when they return home and host the Detroit Tigers in the opener of a three-game interleague series on Tuesday.
Boston at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox lead the major leagues with 124 runs scored heading into play on Monday and averaged 7.5 during an eight-game winning streak before going cold over the weekend in back-to-back losses to the Oakland Athletics. The Red Sox will try to find the offense again on Tuesday, when they continue the road trip by visiting the American League East-rival Toronto Blue Jays for the first time in 2018.
Oakland at Texas 8:05 PM ET
After moving over .500 for the first time since opening the season with a victory, the surging Oakland Athletics continue their three-game series against the host Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Marcus Semien belted a tie-breaking homer in Monday’s 9-4 victory as the Athletics collected 14 hits and won for the seventh time in their last eight contests.
LA Angels at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros get their first look at Shohei Ohtani when the Japanese two-way sensation starts on the mound for the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Ohtani departed his last turn after two innings due to a blister on his pitching hand and insisted all along that he would make the start against the defending World Series champions.
Milwaukee at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers ride a six-game winning streak - their longest since 2015 - when they kick off a nine-game road trip Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals. Milwaukee (14-9) is coming off a four-game sweep of Miami in which it outscored the Marlins 30-10, and its 3.37 ERA - 2.64 among relievers - is an early sign that the Brewers could again be a factor in the National League Central this season.
NY Mets at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET
Paul DeJong and the St. Louis Cardinals are heating up heading into Tuesday's opener of their three-game series at Busch Stadium against the New York Mets. DeJong has homered in back-to-back contests and three times over his last five outings for the Cardinals, who have won eight of nine overall after capping their second sweep of the season by brushing aside reeling Cincinnati.
San Diego at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies are in need of a strong performance from their pitching staff after allowing double-digit run totals in three of their last five contests. Colorado looks to bounce back from one of those outings when it hosts the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series.
Miami at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a roll of late and attempt to keep it going when they host the struggling Miami Marlins on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Los Angeles received a scare in the opener as Miami scored in the top of the eighth to forge a tie, but it answered in the bottom half to escape with a 2-1 victory.
Washington at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
Mac Williamson appears to be on a mission to remain in the majors, and he'll look to do further damage when the San Francisco Giants host the Washington Nationals on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Williamson smacked his second tape-measure homer in four games to help the Giants post a 4-2 win in Monday's series opener.
