May 03, 2017
Arizona at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks hope to keep the high-powered Washington Nationals in check for a second straight night when they visit the nation's capital Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Arizona posted a 6-3 victory in the opener, limiting Washington to seven hits after it pounded out 23 in a 23-5 triumph over the New York Mets on Sunday.
Toronto at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
Slugger Aaron Judge tied a major league rookie record by slamming 10 home runs in April and joined some lofty company with his first two blasts in May. Judge launched two of five homers on Tuesday for the New York Yankees, who will face the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Baltimore at Boston 7:10 PM ET
Tensions are escalating between the visiting Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox, who meet for the eighth time when they continue their four-game series at Fenway Park on Wednesday. Orioles third baseman Manny Machado was livid Tuesday after a Boston pitcher threw behind him for the second time since his slide injured Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia last month.
Miami at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays look to continue their success when the Sunshine State series moves north for the final two games, starting Wednesday night when the Miami Marlins pay a visit. The Rays took the first two contests of the home-and-home set after holding on for a 3-1 victory Tuesday as Logan Morrison remained hot against his former team with a solo homer to open the scoring.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Josh Harrison has been taking it to his hometown team and the Pittsburgh Pirates finally followed suit to post their first win in five tries against the Cincinnati Reds this season. The Queen City native looks to keep coming up aces on Wednesday when the National League Central rivals play the third contest of their four-game series in Cincinnati.
Cleveland at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
Miguel Cabrera wasted little time making his presence felt in his return from the disabled list, belting his 450th career homer to send the Detroit Tigers to their third straight victory overall and fourth in five outings this season versus the Cleveland Indians. The two-time American League MVP looks to continue his torrid display against the Indians on Wednesday in the third contest of the four-game series in Detroit.
NY Mets at Atlanta 7:35 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves look to win for the sixth time in their past eight games when they host the New York Mets on Wednesday, and a productive offense has fueled their recent spurt. The Braves are averaging 7.6 runs and 12 hits in their past seven contests after holding off the Mets for a 9-7 victory Tuesday to even the four-game series, getting another homer from first baseman Freddie Freeman and three hits from center fielder Ender Inciarte.
Philadelphia at Chi. Cubs 8:05 PM ET
Many of the Chicago Cubs’ biggest stars have gotten off to somewhat slow starts at the plate, but the lineup is showing signs of heating up. The Cubs hope to continue their power surge when they host the Philadelphia Phillies for the third contest of their four-game series on Wednesday.
Texas at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros have recorded comeback victories behind five-run innings in each of the first two games of the series and attempt to beat the visiting Texas Rangers again on Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game set. Marwin Gonzalez was the hero of Tuesday's 8-7 victory, belting a grand slam in the eighth-inning uprising as part of his two-homer, five-RBI performance.
Oakland at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins quickly buried the memory of their previous homestand in Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics, hammering six home runs to set a record for Target Field. Minnesota will look to match its longest winning streak of the season on Wednesday when it continues a three-game series against the Athletics.
Chi. White Sox at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
The performance of Avisail Garcia has been one of the early-season surprises in baseball, and he looks to continue his hot start when the Chicago White Sox visit the Kansas City Royals for the third contest of their four-game series on Wednesday. Garcia reached base four times during Tuesday's 6-0 victory, going 2-for-2 while drawing a walk and getting hit by a pitch, to raise his American League-best average to .382.
Milwaukee at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET
Kolten Wong made amends for both a baserunning and defensive miscue in the opener to help the St. Louis Cardinals level the four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers at one victory apiece. Wong looks to keep the Cardinals surging in the right direction on Wednesday when the National League Central rivals reconvene at Busch Stadium.
LA Angels at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Angels had to work extra hard in the series opener to claim a victory and will be looking for their eighth win in nine games when they visit the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The red-hot Angels pushed across two runs in the 11th inning for a 6-4 triumph in Tuesday's opener of the three-game set.
San Francisco at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers planned on sending Cody Bellinger back to the minors later this week, but the rookie might be forcing the team to reconsider. The 21-year-old looks to continue his torrid start on Wednesday as the Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants for the rubber match of their three-game series.
Colorado at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
The San Diego Padres vie for their fourth consecutive victory on Wednesday as they continue their eight-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies. San Diego concluded a 3-4 road trip with a pair of triumphs in San Francisco before posting a 6-2 win on Tuesday in the opener of its three-game series against Colorado.
