Chi. White Sox at NY Mets 1:10 PM ET

The longest losing streak of the season is finally over for the Chicago White Sox, who set their sights on their first series victory in nearly a month. The White Sox look for a second straight win over the host New York Mets in the finale of a three-game interleague series Wednesday at Citi Field. 

St. Louis at Milwaukee 1:40 PM ET
No team makes itself more at home in Milwaukee than the St. Louis Cardinals, who go for a three-game sweep of the host Brewers on Wednesday afternoon.

Minnesota at Oakland 3:35 PM ET
The Oakland Athletics have a chance to record their fourth series sweep of the season and second in two weeks when they host the Minnesota Twins in the finale of their three-game set Wednesday afternoon. Oakland, which captured three straight against visiting Texas from May 16-18, posted a 7-4 triumph on Tuesday for its fourth straight victory and a 4-1 record on its six-game homestand.
Texas at Cleveland 6:10 PM ET
The Texas Rangers are on a roll with four straight victories to stay just ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the American League West. The Rangers will try to hold onto their slim lead and earn a three-game sweep when they visit the Cleveland Indians for the series finale on Wednesday.
Boston at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The success of the Boston Red Sox offense has been attributed to the ageless production of David Ortiz and the long hitting streaks enjoyed by Jackie Bradley Jr. and Xander Bogaerts, but everyone in the lineup is capable of putting up big numbers. Mookie Betts will try to follow up his career day at the plate when the Red Sox visit the Baltimore Orioles in the third of a four-game series on Wednesday.

The Detroit Tigers are hoping Michael Fulmer can help them record a rare victory in Anaheim as the rookie takes the mound in Wednesday’s series finale against the Los Angeles Angels.

NY Yankees at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
Pitching away from home has not fazed right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, who will try to prevent a three-game sweep when the New York Yankees visit the Toronto Blue Jays in Wednesday night's series finale. Toronto is 6-2 against the Yankees this season and has won five straight series versus New York for the first time since 1992-93.
San Francisco at Atlanta 7:10 PM ET
Denard Span can be a game changer from the leadoff spot when healthy and the Giants center fielder is finding his stride as May turns to June. Span and San Francisco play the third contest of a four-game set Wednesday against the host Atlanta Braves, one night after Span collected three hits and two RBIs in a 4-0 victory to raise his average to .435 in his past six games.
Pittsburgh at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates could not find a way around the Miami Marlins ace on Tuesday and ended up falling for the third time in the last four games. The Pirates will try to string some hits together and take the lead in the series when they visit the Marlins for the third of the four-game series on Wednesday.
LA Dodgers at Chi. Cubs 8:05 PM ET

Dominant pitching has been the key to the first two games between the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Each team has tossed a combined one-hitter while splitting the first two contests, and Los Angeles right-hander Mike Bolsinger and Chicago lefty Jon Lester try to continue the trend when the four-game set continues Wednesday at Wrigley Field.

Arizona at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros were 11 games below .500 and headed toward a lost season when the decision was made to move right fielder George Springer into the leadoff spot. The ascension to the top of the order has jump-started the Astros as Springer has gone 16-for-35 with three homers and Houston has won seven of eight games since the move entering Wednesday's third contest of a home-and-home, four-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.
Tampa Bay at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals are red-hot with the bats and look to extend their winning streak to six games when they host the struggling Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The Royals have recorded 36 runs during their victorious stretch after a 10-5 victory on Tuesday as Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer continued to provide heroics for their surging offense.
Cincinnati at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies need to start winning at home if they are to entertain thoughts of remaining in shouting distance in the National League West race, and Carlos Gonzalez appears to be aware of the situation. Gonzalez tries to continue tormenting Cincinnati while looking to extend his hitting streak to 10 games and homer in a career-high fifth straight contest when the Rockies host the Reds on Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game series.
Seattle at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
Felix Hernandez seeks to continue his dominance at Petco Park when the Seattle Mariners visit the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Hernandez is 5-0 with a 1.51 ERA in seven career starts at San Diego's ballpark and had to be envious of the 25 runs the Mariners scored in Seattle in the first two contests of the home-and-home, four-game set.
