Cleveland at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers have been rebuilding for so long, it's easy to forget that Miguel Cabrera remains in the middle of the lineup.
Baltimore at Boston 1:10 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles opened the season Friday by watching John Means dominate and pitch like an ace.
Texas at Kansas City 2:10 PM ET
There's a well-worn expression in baseball: "It's a marathon, not a sprint."
