Preview Roundups
May 10, 2017
Seattle at Philadelphia 1:05 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies haven't been shy about keeping the scoreboard operator busy of late, albeit for different reasons. Seattle has erupted for 42 runs en route to winning five of its last six contests while host Philadelphia has permitted 43 while losing six of seven heading into Wednesday afternoon's finale of the two-game interleague series at Citizens Bank Park.
San Francisco at NY Mets 1:10 PM ET
Amid another drama-filled day off the field, featuring a mea culpa from suspended pitcher Matt Harvey, the New York Mets are playing some pretty good ball. New York goes for a three-game sweep of the visiting San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon and can move above the .500 mark for the first time since April 19.
Atlanta at Houston 2:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros continue to play solid baseball and look to register their eighth victory in 10 contests when they conclude their two-game series against the visiting Atlanta Braves on Wednesday afternoon. Houston cruised to an easy 8-3 win in the opener to improve to 22-11 - the second-best record in the major leagues behind Baltimore (22-10).
Chi. Cubs at Colorado 3:10 PM ET
The Chicago Cubs have won five of their six road series in 2017, and they have a chance to add another triumph away from home when they wrap up a three-game set against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday afternoon. The teams split a doubleheader on Tuesday, with each claiming a lopsided victory.
LA Angels at Oakland 3:35 PM ET
Albert Pujols has reached base safely in each of his eight games this month, recording at least one hit in seven of them. The slugger hopes to extend his streak and move closer to 600 career home runs when the Los Angeles Angels visit the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday afternoon for the rubber match of their three-game series.
Baltimore at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles own the best record in the majors and will carry a six-game winning streak into Wednesday's matchup at the Washington Nationals in the continuation of a four-game, home-and-home Beltway Series. The Orioles won 5-4 in 12 innings Tuesday, scoring twice in the ninth against the Nationals' beleaguered bullpen.
Cleveland at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
While Edwin Encarnacion is receiving quite the reception in his return to Rogers Centre, another former member of the Toronto Blue Jays has provided a significant impact on the three-game series. Yan Gomes looks to continue his hot hitting despite uneven playing time on Wednesday when he leads the visiting Cleveland Indians into the rubber match against Blue Jays.
Kansas City at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals' struggles on the road are becoming a distant memory as they vie for their third straight win away from home when they continue their four-game series Wednesday against the host Tampa Bay Rays. Kansas City entered the set with a seven-game road losing streak but won the first two contests, including a 12-inning affair on Tuesday.
St. Louis at Miami 7:10 PM ET
St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn has quashed any concerns over how he'd respond after sitting out an entire year due to Tommy John surgery. Lynn has been magnificent since his lone defeat of the season and carries a four-start winning streak into the finale of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
San Diego at Texas 8:05 PM ET
One day after Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister talked at length about the frustration that came along with the inability for his team to string at-bats together, his offense answered the bell and then some Tuesday. After splitting a pair of contests in San Diego, the Rangers hope to build upon an impressive run-scoring explosion Wednesday when they host the Padres for the first of two games in Texas.
Minnesota at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins answered a disastrous weekend stretch in which they surrendered 28 runs over two games to once again keep the bats of the Chicago White Sox under wraps. Winners of eight of their last 12, the Twins vie for a series victory over the White Sox on Wednesday when the American League Central rivals play the second contest of their three-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Boston at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET
Eric Thames' stunning early-season power display has resulted in him surpassing his previous career-best total for home runs. Thames established his new high of 13 in the series opener and looks to continue his torrid start when the Milwaukee Brewers host the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-game set.
Detroit at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
Justin Upton reminded his former employers of his prodigious power in the series opener and looks to help the Detroit Tigers complete a two-game sweep when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Upton slugged a 448-foot homer over the wall in center field in the opener as the Tigers registered a 7-3 triumph.
Pittsburgh at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
Los Angeles catcher Yasmani Grandal is heating up along with the Dodgers, who have won four in a row and nine of their last 11. The 28-year-old catcher looks to continue his resurgence Wednesday as the Dodgers aim for a three-game sweep of the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates, who have lost three straight and are quickly falling behind the pack in the National League Central.
