Preview Roundups
May 09, 2015
Baltimore at NY Yankees 1:05 PM ET
The back of the bullpen is working wonders for the surging New York Yankees, who go for their second consecutive victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. The Yankees have taken the first two games of the four-game set by scores of 4-3 and 5-4 to give them eight one-run victories - tied with Houston for the most in the American League.
Boston at Toronto 1:07 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox have enough problems with their pitching staff without having to worry about the offense as well. The Red Sox will try to string together a few hits when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays in the second of a three-game series on Saturday.
Kansas City at Detroit 1:08 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals have finally hit a bit of a rough patch, and once again their struggles against Detroit Tigers are a big reason why. The Tigers seek their fourth straight win against their American League Central rivals when they host the Royals in the continuation of a three-game series on Saturday afternoon.
Atlanta at Washington 4:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals are surging in the National League East following a lackluster start, and Bryce Harper sits in the forefront of the charge toward the top of the division. The 22-year-old right-fielder comes into Saturday’s home contest against the Atlanta Braves having slugged five homers with 10 RBIs in his past two games.
Minnesota at Cleveland 4:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins look to continue their winning ways when they take on the host Cleveland Indians in the second of a three-game set on Saturday. The surging Twins have won eight of their last nine games, including a series-opening 9-3 victory over the Indians, to move four games over .500 for the first time since 2010 when they won the American League Central.
Cincinnati at Chi. White Sox 4:10 PM ET

After having their series opener washed out, the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox will play a back-to-back doubleheader Saturday on the South Side. Cincinnati hasn't fared well against the White Sox, who lead the all-time series 14-3 and have won 11 of the past 12 meetings, but the teams haven't faced off since 2009.

Texas at Tampa Bay 6:10 PM ET
Evan Longoria is starting to warm up and the three-time All Star looks to extend his hitting streak to five games when his Tampa Bay Rays host the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Longoria, who took a rare day off due to illness Thursday, had two hits and an RBI while scoring twice Friday, following up a two-homer performance against Boston, as the Rays evened the series against the Rangers at a game apiece with an 8-2 victory.
NY Mets at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
Ryan Howard is beginning to get hot for the Philadelphia Phillies and is helping to make up for the struggles of Chase Utley. Both Howard and Utley could find themselves on the bench against left-hander Jonathon Niese when the Phillies host the New York Mets again on Saturday.
St. Louis at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost four games to the St, Louis Cardinals in the last eight days by a total of six runs. The Pirates will try to turn the tables when they host the Cardinals in the second of a three-game series on Saturday.
Cincinnati at Chi. White Sox 7:10 PM ET

After having their series opener washed out, the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox will play a back-to-back doubleheader Saturday on the South Side. Cincinnati hasn't fared well against the White Sox, who lead the all-time series 14-3 and have won 11 of the past 12 meetings, but the teams haven't faced off since 2009.

Chi. Cubs at Milwaukee 7:10 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs have found a way to make just about every game exciting in 2015, but that hasn't always been a good thing. The visiting Cubs hope for a little less drama when they aim for a second straight win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. 

San Diego at Arizona 8:10 PM ET
Wil Myers started slowly in May but has picked up the pace over the past three days as the San Diego Padres prepare to host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. Myers had a career-best four hits, including his fifth homer of the season, as the Padres edged the Diamondbacks 6-5 on Friday and has gone 7-for-14 during his hot stretch.
LA Dodgers at Colorado 8:10 PM ET
Reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw gets his fourth crack at career victory No. 100 when the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Colorado Rockies on Saturday in the second contest of a three-game series. Los Angeles made it four straight wins over the Rockies this season in a rain-shortened series opener that was called in the sixth inning.
Houston at LA Angels 9:05 PM ET
Major-league ERA leader Dallas Keuchel is dominating hitters and seeks another strong outing when the Houston Astros visit the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. The left-hander has a minuscule 0.80 ERA and is holding opposing hitters to a .139 batting average as he has given up just 21 hits in 45 innings.
Miami at San Francisco 9:05 PM ET
Casey McGehee is off to a slow start in his first season with the San Francisco Giants, but perhaps a game against his former team is what it takes to snap him out of his funk. McGehee's second-inning grand slam was all San Francisco needed in Friday's 6-0 victory and the Giants look to make it two in a row when they host the Miami Marlins on Saturday in the third contest of a four-game series.
Oakland at Seattle 9:10 PM ET
Seattle first baseman Logan Morrison is in the midst of a hot streak and was the hero of the opener of a three-game set against visiting Oakland. The Mariners face the Athletics again Saturday, one night after Morrison smacked the first pitch of the 11th inning over the right-center field fence as Seattle posted a 4-3 victory.
