Preview Roundups
April 03, 2019
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 12:35 PM ET
The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t made it easy on themselves, but they’re off to a strong start and will try to finish a three-game road sweep of the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The Brewers are 5-1 with their five wins coming by a total of six runs, including a pair of 4-3 victories to start the series.
Philadelphia at Washington 1:05 PM ET
Bryce Harper made himself at home in his old stomping grounds, answering a raucous crowd by belting a two-run homer to highlight his three-hit performance as the Philadelphia Phillies improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1915. Harper and the Phillies look to continue their fast start on Wednesday afternoon when they conclude the abbreviated two-game series against the Washington Nationals.
Colorado at Tampa Bay 1:10 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies hope to wake up their dormant bats and avoid a three-game sweep when they complete a season-opening road trip against the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon. The Rockies, who were second in the National League in runs last season (780), have scored four times in the last four games after starting 2019 with a pair of comfortable wins.
Chi. White Sox at Cleveland 1:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians rallied for a victory in their home opener and look to finish off a two-game sweep of the American League Central-rival Chicago White Sox in Wednesday afternoon's finale. The Indians fell behind by two runs in the top of the eighth inning Monday, but used four walks, two hits and an error to score four times in the bottom of the frame to earn a 5-3 victory.
Minnesota at Kansas City 1:15 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins attempt to continue their early success when they visit the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday afternoon for the finale of their brief two-game series. Minnesota posted its third win in four games this season Tuesday as it rallied to record a 5-4 victory in 10 innings.
Arizona at San Diego 3:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks try for a three-game sweep of the Padres when they meet in San Diego on Wednesday afternoon. Arizona, which dropped three of four at Dodger Stadium to start the season, has scored 40 runs in its first six contests after Tuesday's 8-5 victory featured two home runs by pitcher Zach Greinke, giving the Diamondbacks 14 round-trippers this season.
Detroit at NY Yankees 4:05 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers have not seen much pop from their offense this season, but the light-hitting team enjoyed some late fireworks to even their three-game series against the host New York Yankees at one victory apiece. The Tigers look to cap their season-opening seven-game road trip on a positive note when they play the series finale on Wednesday afternoon.
Baltimore at Toronto 4:07 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles hardly resemble the team that lost 115 games in 2018 as they try to complete a three-game sweep of the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. Baltimore (4-1) has won four straight on the road for the first time since taking four in a row spanning the 2016 All-Star break after Tuesday's 2-1 victory dropped Toronto to 2-4 on its season-opening seven-game homestand.
NY Mets at Miami 6:10 PM ET
The New York Mets send reigning National League Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom to the mound Wednesday night seeking to cap an outstanding season-opening road trip with a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. The Mets took two of three at Washington to begin the campaign and have scored 13 runs in the first two games of the series at Marlins Park after holding on for a 6-5 victory Tuesday.
St. Louis at Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals pulled off a dramatic comeback in the series opener against the Pirates and will be looking to complete a sweep of the two-game set Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. After dropping three of four in Milwaukee to open the season, St. Louis erased a four-run deficit to spoil Monday's home opener for the Pirates.
Chi. Cubs at Atlanta 7:20 PM ET
Ronald Acuna Jr. has made a tremendous impact for the Atlanta Braves since making his major league debut last April, and he will take the field for Wednesday’s home contest against the Chicago Cubs with his future secured. The Braves and the National League Rookie of the Year reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $100-million contract extension on Tuesday's off day after the 21-year-old launched his first homer of the season in Atlanta’s 8-0 home-opening victory.
Houston at Texas 8:05 PM ET
The Houston Astros have averaged 2.5 runs in their first six games, leaving some to wonder if they left their offense behind in spring training. Houston looks to get untracked Wednesday, when it visits the Texas Rangers for the rubber match of their three-game series.
Boston at Oakland 10:07 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox finally received an admirable performance from a starting pitcher, but their offense was stagnant for a second straight game. Boston attempts to put it all together when it visits the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday for the third contest of their four-game series.
San Francisco at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers have tied a major-league record with 17 home runs in their first six games and have a visit to homer-friendly Coors Field coming up this weekend. Before heading to Colorado, however, the Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday for the rubber match of their three-game series.
