Preview Roundups
April 02, 2019
Detroit at NY Yankees 6:35 PM ET
The New York Yankees dropped two home games over the weekend to the Baltimore Orioles and then started the new week by losing a pair of sluggers to injury. They overcame the bad news with a win over the visiting Detroit Tigers to begin a three-game series, which the teams continue Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 6:40 PM ET
Reigning MVP Christian Yelich finally went without a home run, but still found a way to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a win. Yelich and the Brewers seek their fourth straight victory when they continue a three-game series at the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.
Philadelphia at Washington 7:05 PM ET
Bryce Harper has endeared himself to the fickle fanbase of the Philadelphia Phillies approximately a month removed from signing a 13-year, $330 million contract. While Harper has received a hero's welcome in the City of Brotherly Love, he might get a vastly different reaction on Tuesday when the Phillies visit his former club: the Washington Nationals.
Baltimore at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
After a series in which the Toronto Blue Jays' starting pitchers did not give up a run across four games, the Baltimore Orioles flipped the tables on their American League East rivals in the opener of their three-game series. Andrew Cashner will try to match David Hess' gem when the Orioles attempt to continue their surprising start when they visit the Blue Jays for the middle contest of the set.
Colorado at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays have allowed five runs combined during a four-game winning streak and hand the ball to reigning American League Cy Young winner Blake Snell on Tuesday night for the second of a three-game set against the visiting Colorado Rockies. Six Tampa Bay pitchers limited the Rockies to six hits while striking out a dozen and walking just one in Monday's 7-1 victory to open the series.
NY Mets at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The New York Mets cycled through seven players at first base last season, none of whom batted over .267 or drove in more than 39 runs while playing the position. Pete Alonso appears poised to stop the revolving door given how well he's hit over his first 17 professional at-bats, and the Mets hope the Florida native can stay hot at the plate when they visit the Miami Marlins on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series.
Houston at Texas 8:05 PM ET
Right-hander Justin Verlander looks to win his second straight game to start the campaign when the Houston Astros visit the Texas Rangers on Tuesday in the second contest of a three-game set. Right-hander Brad Peacock and two relievers combined on a two-hitter in the series opener as Houston recorded a 2-1 victory.
Minnesota at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
One weekend into the season and the American League Central is developing into a battle between the Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals. The two first-place clubs will square off in an early-season showdown when the Royals host the Twins in the opener of a two-game series on Tuesday.
Boston at Oakland 10:07 PM ET
Pitching was the biggest problem for the Boston Red Sox when they opened the season by losing three of four in Seattle. Offense was an issue in their series opener in Oakland, and the Red Sox look to improve in both facets when they continue the four-game set against the Athletics on Tuesday.
Arizona at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
Adam Jones is proving to be a perfect fit for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who signed the 33-year-old outfielder midway through spring training. Arizona continues its three-game series against the host San Diego Padres on Tuesday looking to carry the momentum from Monday’s 10-3 victory.
San Francisco at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
With 16 homers in their first five games, the Los Angeles Dodgers' explosive offense has helped disguise a growing concern about the team’s bullpen. The relievers figure to be in the spotlight Tuesday when the Dodgers continue their three-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants, who rallied for a 4-2 victory on Monday.
LA Angels at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
Jay Bruce looks to homer for the fourth consecutive game when the Seattle Mariners host the Los Angeles Angels in the finale of a two-game series. Bruce slugged a 426-foot, two-run blast in the seventh inning on Monday to help the Mariners post a 6-3 triumph.
