The Minnesota Twins have pushed their way back into the American League Central race with an offensive barrage and look to stay hot when they host the last-place Chicago White Sox on Tuesday for a doubleheader. The Twins took the final three of a four-game set against first-place Cleveland with a big assist from outfielder Eddie Rosario and have recorded 37 runs in their last five contests.

What began as a spectacular road trip for the Washington Nationals over a week ago and even saw the defending National League East champions take a brief lead in their division ended on a bit of a downer. Washington will attempt to bounce back from a disappointing series over the weekend Tuesday when it hosts the first of two interleague games against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Los Angeles Dodgers can get to .500 for the first time since April 24 while sending the host Pittsburgh Pirates to the even mark for the first time all season when the teams open a three-game series in the Steel City on Tuesday. The Dodgers swept three games at Colorado to begin their road trip and improve to 13-4 over an 17-game hot stretch.

Slugger Aaron Judge looks to bounce back from a horrific doubleheader performance when the New York Yankees open a two-game series against the host Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Judge became the first player since at least 1920 to strike out eight times in a doubleheader as the Yankees split Monday's twinbill in Detroit.

The New York Mets have seen their bats go quiet since the start of May, as they've scored two runs or fewer on 15 occasions in that span. After mustering a total of six runs over 41 innings during a four-game sweep by the Chicago Cubs, the Mets look to ignite their sputtering offense on Tuesday in the opener of an abbreviated two-game interleague series versus the visiting Baltimore Orioles.

Anthony DeSclafani will make his first appearance in the majors in over 20 months when he gets the start for the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies. The 28-year-old DeSclafani missed all of 2017 with an elbow injury and has sat out the first two-plus months this year due to a strained oblique, but seemingly has nothing holding him back anymore.

Two of their key players are already on the disabled list and the Boston Red Sox hope a third will avoid it when they host the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night for the opener of a three-game series. J.D. Martinez, who leads the major leagues with 50 RBIs and is tied for the league lead with 19 homers, left Sunday’s 9-3 victory at Houston with back spasms, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters the slugger is expected to be ready for Tuesday.

Two teams coming off a disappointing weekend series meet when the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night for the opener of a two-game interleague set between division leaders. The Brewers dropped two of three against the Chicago White Sox, who have the second-worst record in the majors, while the Indians dropped the last three at Minnesota after stringing together a season-best, six-game winning streak.

The Minnesota Twins have pushed their way back into the American League Central race with an offensive barrage and look to stay hot when they host the last-place Chicago White Sox on Tuesday for a doubleheader. The Twins took the final three of a four-game set against first-place Cleveland with a big assist from outfielder Eddie Rosario and have recorded 37 runs in their last five contests.

After about a week-long stretch in which they struggled to score, the Oakland Athletics rediscovered their offense toward the end of last week. The Athletics stand a fair chance of staying relatively hot at the plate following a day off when they visit the Texas Rangers for the first of two games Tuesday.

Coming off a red-hot road trip, the Chicago Cubs will try to take the momentum home when they begin a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Cubs have won four straight and seven of their last eight to pull within two games of first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central.

The Seattle Mariners are the team leading the American League West when they open a two-game road series against the defending World Series champion Houston Astros on Tuesday. Seattle holds a one-game lead over Houston after ripping off victories in 13 of its last 16 games, while the Astros have dropped six of their last nine contests.

The St. Louis Cardinals have done a good job of staying in the National League Central race despite a rash of key injuries, and they have two of their most important players coming off the disabled list for a three-game series beginning Tuesday against the visiting Miami Marlins. The Cardinals are expected to get a boost from the return of ace right-hander Carlos Martinez and battery mate Yadier Molina (groin) for the series opener.

Hits were aplenty in the series opener and the teams look to tee off again on Tuesday, when the Los Angeles Angels host the Kansas City Royals for the middle contest of their three-game set. The Royals collected 12 hits on Monday while the Angels registered 14, including three during a three-run eighth inning that gave them a 9-6 victory.

Sean Newcomb seeks his seventh consecutive victory when the Atlanta Braves visit the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Newcomb lost to Washington in his first outing of the season but is unbeaten in his ensuing 10 starts.

The red-hot San Francisco Giants will have their ace on the mound for the first time this season Tuesday as Madison Bumgarner makes his 2018 debut in the middle contest of a three-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Bumgarner has made a pair of rehab starts since undergoing surgery on his fractured left hand, allowing one run and two hits with one walk and 15 strikeouts over 8 1/3 innings.
