The month of April has not been kind to Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, but he’s hoping to reverse that trend Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game series against the visiting Minnesota Twins. Gausman owns a 5.88 ERA in 15 career April appearances and has a history of struggling against the Twins, who evened the season-opening set with Saturday's 6-2 victory.

The Toronto Blue Jays needed to prove something to themselves while showing the rest of baseball that the New York Yankees aren't invincible after all. The Blue Jays finally were able to muster up some offense in their third game of the season and have a chance to earn a split of a four-game set against the visiting Yankees on Sunday afternoon.

Xander Bogaerts struggled through a difficult season in 2017 in large part because he played through a lingering wrist injury, but it appears the Tampa Bay Rays are getting a taste of what he is capable of when he is healthy. Boston's red-hot 25-year-old shortstop attempts to cap off an incredible four-game series Sunday when the visiting Red Sox eye a series victory over the Rays.

The Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins have wound up seeing even more of each another than they expected in their season-opening four-game series. After working extra innings for two straight games, the teams wrap up the set Sunday in Miami.

It is only two games but the New York Mets appear to have their power pitching back on track as they aim to complete a season-opening home sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Two days after Noah Syndergaard fanned 10 hitters in Thursday's season opener, Jacob deGrom and three relievers combined for 12 punch outs in a 6-2 victory Saturday, giving New York pitchers 27 strikeouts through the season’s first 18 innings.

The real winner of the season-opening series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers is Mother Nature, with inclement weather Saturday forcing a second postponement in two days and resulting in a split doubleheader Sunday in Detroit. The two teams may have needed the rainout to recover from a wild opening day Friday (following a Thursday rainout), a game the Tigers appeared to have won before a reversed call at home plate led to a 13-10 Pirates victory in 13 innings.

The Chicago White Sox aim for their first 3-0 start since 1992 when they wrap up a three-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Royals are trying to avoid starting with three straight losses for the second consecutive season.

Jake Marisnick has opened the season sharing time with youngster Derek Fisher in left field while batting at the bottom of the Houston Astros' lineup, but his early contributions could force the club to rethink his role. The Astros aim to continue their recent domination of the Silver Boot Series on Sunday when they target a series victory in the finale of a four-game set against the host Texas Rangers.

Shohei Ohtani made his major-league debut as a hitter in the season opener but will get his first turn on the mound Sunday, when the Los Angeles Angels visit the Oakland Athletics for the finale of their four-game series. A highly touted prospect who is attempting to succeed as a two-way player, Ohtani served as Los Angeles' designated hitter on Thursday and singled in his first at-bat before finishing 1-for-5 with a strikeout.

The Washington Nationals never really got a chance to see what kind of impact Adam Eaton could make at the top of their lineup, losing him to a torn ACL in the first month last year. Eaton appears to be bent on making up for lost time as he looks to continue his fast start to 2018 and help the visiting Nationals go for a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.

Yonder Alonso finished the 2017 season with the Seattle Mariners and it did not take him long to make his former team regret letting him walk in free agency. Alonso got the Cleveland Indians off to a fast start with a first-inning grand slam in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners, setting up Sunday's rubber match of the three-game series.

The real winner of the season-opening series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers is Mother Nature, with inclement weather Saturday forcing a second postponement in two days and resulting in a split doubleheader Sunday in Detroit. The two teams may have needed the rainout to recover from a wild opening day Friday (following a Thursday rainout), a game the Tigers appeared to have won before a reversed call at home plate led to a 13-10 Pirates victory in 13 innings.

After being held scoreless in their first two games, the Los Angeles Dodgers put five runs on the board last time out and will look to earn a split of their four-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Kenta Maeda struck out 10 over five innings in Saturday’s 5-0 victory as the Dodgers recorded their first win following back-to-back 1-0 losses.
