Preview Roundups
May 23, 2017
Kansas City at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
Danny Duffy turned in his best outing of the season last week against the New York Yankees and will look to continue a recent hot stretch when the Kansas City Royals continue a four-game series at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. Duffy prevented a sweep by the Yankees in Kansas City last Thursday by striking out 10 in seven scoreless innings.
Minnesota at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
Ervin Santana has been an early-season surprise, and the 34-year-old looks to produce another strong outing when the Minnesota Twins visit the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Santana has been stunningly good as he is limiting opposing hitters to a .144 average - the best mark in the majors.
Seattle at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The Washington Nationals still lead the National League East but are beginning to show some vulnerability with four losses in the last five games. The Nationals hope to reignite their fading offense when they return home to host the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game interleague series on Tuesday.
Colorado at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
While the Colorado Rockies continue to build upon the best start in franchise history, the reeling Philadelphia Phillies are mired in their worst start through 42 games in 17 years. The National League-leading Rockies, who have won a major league-high 16 games away from home, visit the Phillies on Tuesday in the second of a four-game set.
San Francisco at Chi. Cubs 7:05 PM ET

The San Francisco Giants are surging after a disappointing start to the season, and they hope to see star pitcher Johnny Cueto follow suit. Cueto takes the mound Tuesday as the Giants play the second contest of their four-game road series against the Chicago Cubs. 

Cleveland at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds try to string two solid pitching performances together when they host the rival Cleveland Indians on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game, home-and-home interleague series. The Reds had allowed 59 runs in seven games coming into the Ohio Cup series before Scott Feldman and three relievers earned them a 5-1 victory in the opener.
LA Angels at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
Matt Shoemaker looks to remain unbeaten against the Tampa Bay Rays when his surging Los Angeles Angels pay them a visit Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. Shoemaker is 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA in three career outings versus the Rays and hopes to ride the wave as Los Angeles goes for its seventh victory in nine games after grinding out a 3-2 victory in the series opener.
San Diego at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
The New York Mets had won six of eight at Citi Field before getting blasted out of the blocks in their last encounter. The Mets look to dust themselves off in the opener of a three-game series versus the free-falling San Diego Padres as Matt Harvey makes his first start at home since being suspended by the team for missing a game.
Texas at Boston 7:10 PM ET
The Texas Rangers had a 10-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday but got right back to the winning formula again on Sunday - solid starting pitching and a barrage of home runs. The Rangers will bring their power east and try to make it 12 wins in 13 games when they visit the Boston Red Sox for the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Pittsburgh at Atlanta 7:35 PM ET
Matt Adams hardly had a shining debut with his new team but he gave the fans plenty to cheer about in his second game with the Atlanta Braves. Sparked by a two-run homer from the newly acquired Adams, the Braves won the series opener against visiting Pittsburgh and look to make it two straight against the Pirates on Tuesday night.
Toronto at Milwaukee 7:40 PM ET
Keon Broxton stumbled out of the blocks this season before regaining his footing with an impressive two-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 27-year-old has hit the ground running since April 21 and looks to continue that stretch on Tuesday when the Milwaukee Brewers host the Blue Jays in the opener of a two-game interleague series.
Detroit at Houston 8:10 PM ET
Lance McCullers Jr. has been dominant in his last three outings and looks to shut down another offense when the Houston Astros host the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. McCullers hasn't allowed an earned run during the stretch and has given up just nine hits over 19 innings.
Chi. White Sox at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks are displaying signs that they are playoff contenders and seek their seventh victory in eight games when they host the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game interleague series. Arizona leads the majors with a 19-8 home record, and its recent hot streak has given it the third-best record in the National League.
Miami at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
The Miami Marlins are tied for the fewest wins in the majors and managed just four victories so far in May while struggling to find consistent offense. The Marlins will try to string some hits together when they continue a west coast trip by visiting the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a two-game interleague series on Tuesday.
St. Louis at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has hit safely in 11 straight contests and carries a 16-game on-base streak into Tuesday's encounter with Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series at Chavez Ravine. Molina is batting a respectable .250 in his career versus the three-time National League Cy Young Award winner, however Kershaw has authored four scoreless outings in his last eight regular-season meetings with St. Louis.
