The Toronto Blue Jays haven't won five consecutive series against the New York Yankees since 1992-93, but a victory on Tuesday against their American League East rival will bring an end to that drought. Toronto won for the fifth time in six games by beating the visiting Yankees 4-2 in Monday's opener of a three-game set.

Light-hitting Blue Jays shortstop Ryan Goins entered the series batting .151 but homered and doubled Monday, giving him two extra-base hits in a game for the second time this season -- the first also came against New York. Edwin Encarnacion's power numbers and batting average are down, but he has knocked in eight runs during a six-game RBI streak for Toronto. One day after squeezing out a victory at Tampa Bay despite collecting only one hit, the Yankees were limited to five hits to lose for the fourth time in six games. New York catcher Brian McCann prevented a shutout with a two-run homer in the ninth Monday to snap a career worst-tying 0-for-21 slump.

TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, MLB Network, YES (New York), Sportsnet (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (3-3, 2.83 ERA) vs. Blue Jays LH J.A. Happ (6-2, 3.20)

After giving up four runs in each of his first four starts this season, Sabathia has been outstanding over his last three turns despite a stint on the disabled list due to a groin strain. He returned from the injury to beat Oakland with six innings of one-run ball on May 20 and was a hard-luck loser versus Toronto on Thursday, giving up two runs (zero earned) on two hits over seven innings. Jose Bautista is 4-for-34 with 10 strikeouts versus Sabathia.

Happ outdueled Sabathia and halted a two-start skid with seven superb innings, giving up one run on three hits to improve to 5-2 in 11 career starts against the Yankees. Happ, who has pitched at least 6 2/3 innings in seven of his last eight starts, also beat the Yankees at home on April 13 by permitting one run on seven hits over six innings. Alex Rodriguez is hitless in 14 at-bats while McCann is 3-for-21 lifetime against Happ.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Yankees placed INF Dustin Ackley (torn labrum) on the 15-day disabled list and recalled INF Rob Refsnyder from the minors.

2. Toronto recalled RHP Ryan Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo and designated INF Jimmy Paredes for assignment.

3. Rodriguez, mired in a 1-for-16 slump, sat out the series opener while 1B Mark Teixeira (neck) was 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup.

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, May 31 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Pittsburgh Pirates found their offense just in time to go up against one of the hottest pitchers in baseball. The Pirates will try to keep the hits coming on Tuesday when they face Jose Fernandez and the host Miami Marlins in the second of a four-game series.

Pittsburgh totaled four runs in a pair of losses at Texas on Saturday and Sunday but Gregory Polanco belted a grand slam and David Freese added four hits to back a shutout from Jeff Locke in Monday’s 10-0 series-opening triumph. Polanco’s slam marked his fourth home run in 10 games and gave him 15 RBIs in that span. The Marlins were blanked for the second time this season and managed three hits off Locke to fall for the third time in the last four games and eighth time in the last 13 contests. Miami center fielder Marcell Ozuna went 0-for-3 in Monday’s game to snap an 11-game hitting streak and mark just the second time in May that he has gone without a hit.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ROOT (Pittsburgh), FSN Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Gerrit Cole (5-3, 2.53 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Jose Fernandez (7-2, 2.82)

Cole was held out of the decision against Arizona on Thursday despite belting a three-run homer and not allowing an earned run in five innings. The former No. 1 overall pick surrendered a total of one earned run in his last three turns but did not notch a strikeout against Colorado on May 20 and needed 106 pitches to get through five frames against the Diamondbacks. Cole is 2-1 with a 3.42 ERA in four career starts against Miami.

Fernandez earned the win in six straight starts while yielding a total of eight runs in that span. The Cuba native has been at his best in the last four outings with 43 strikeouts in 27 combined innings and three runs allowed. Fernandez, who owns 90 strikeouts in 60 2/3 total innings this season, is 1-0 in two career starts against Pittsburgh with 18 k’s in 13 frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirates 2B Josh Harrison (illness) returned from a two-game absence and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored on Monday.

2. Miami RF Giancarlo Stanton (side) sat out his sixth straight game on Monday and is day-to-day.

3. Pittsburgh LF Starling Marte recorded multiple hits in four of the last seven contests.

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, May 31 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


A masterful pitching performance gave the New York Mets a win in the opener of their three-game series with the visiting Chicago White Sox. The Mets hope for more of the same Tuesday when they send Steven Matz to the mound in search of his eighth straight win.


Matz has given the Mets plenty of outstanding starts, and he’ll look to do so again on the heels of Matt Harvey’s gem in a 1-0 win in the series opener. The Mets snapped a two-game skid Monday but have won seven of their last 10. The White Sox have lost seven straight and four of the last five have been one-run defeats. Fifteen of Chicago’s last 18 games have been decided by two runs or fewer.
TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, CSN Chicago, SNY (New York)


PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox RH Mat Latos (6-1, 4.06 ERA) vs. Mets LH Steven Matz (7-1, 2.36)
After rolling through his first four starts of the season, Latos has struggled. The 28-year-old turned the corner a bit last time out, holding Cleveland to three runs and five hits over six innings for his first quality start since April 24. Latos is 2-4 with a 2.87 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mets.
Matz, who turned 25 on Sunday, was tagged for seven runs in 1 2/3 innings in his season debut, but he has been dominant in seven starts since. His last outing might have been the best of the bunch, as he struck out seven and allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings at Washington for his seventh straight win. Matz has been outstanding in two previous interleague starts, allowing one run over 13 innings in a pair of wins.


WALK-OFFS
1. New York 3B David Wright has missed three straight games with a herniated disk but is hopeful of avoiding the disabled list.
2. Chicago’s Nos. 2-4 hitters – Jose Abreu, Melky Cabrera and Todd Frazier – are a combined 4-for-45 during the team’s current road trip.
3. Mets RHP Jeurys Familia has converted a franchise-record 33 consecutive save opportunities, including 17 this season.

Preview: Giants at Braves

Current Conditions - Atlanta

SUNNY 72 °F
Wind: CLM 0
5-Day Forecast
GAME: San Francisco Giants (32-21) at Atlanta Braves (15-35)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, May 31 - 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Mallex Smith is one of several young players the Atlanta Braves are counting on as they rebuild the franchise, and while the rookie outfielder has experienced some difficult times in his first 42 major-league games, he is developing a knack for clutch hits. Smith leads the Braves into the second game of a four-game home series Tuesday with the San Francisco Giants after his bases-clearing triple Monday sparked Atlanta to a series-opening 5-3 victory.

That hit raised Smith’s average to .407 with 17 RBIs in 27 at-bats with runners in scoring position, a sorely needed boost for an offense that is hitting .195 in May with runners in scoring position. The Giants look to re-ignite their offense after being limited to six hits Monday, which followed 18 runs on 33 hits in victory at Colorado on Saturday and Sunday. First baseman Brandon Belt homered Monday and has seven hits in his past 12 at-bats with three RBIs. Monday’s loss marked just the third in the past 18 games for San Francisco and only the third in its past 15 road contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Jake Peavy (1-5, 7.26 ERA) vs. Braves RH Matt Wisler (2-4, 3.08)

Peavy makes his 11th start of 2016 (Tuesday is his 35th birthday) and, after a rough start to the season, the 15-year veteran has pitched well in two of his past three appearances. He held San Diego to one run on six hits in 6 2/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision, after allowing one run on three hits in six innings May 14 at Arizona. Peavy, who has allowed more than three earned runs in six of his first 10 starts, has a 3.44 ERA but an 0-2 record in three career starts in Atlanta.

Wisler took the loss Thursday against Milwaukee but pitched well for the fifth time in five May starts, allowing three runs on six hits in six innings with seven strikeouts – his third consecutive outing with seven whiffs. He is 2-2 with a 2.25 ERA this month, striking out 27 in 36 innings while holding opponents to a .212 batting average and a .586 OPS. The 23-year-old seeks his first victory at home this season, where he has posted a 4.18 ERA in five starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Francisco 3B Matt Duffy left Monday’s game in the sixth inning after being hit on the left hand with a pitch.

2. Atlanta starters have compiled a 2.82 ERA in the past 12 games.

3. Giants P Chris Stratton, San Francisco’s first-round pick in 2012, made his major-league debut Monday by striking out two hitters in a perfect eighth inning.

Preview: Dodgers at Cubs

Weather information is currently unavailable. 5-Day Forecast
GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers (27-25) at Chicago Cubs (35-14)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, May 31 - 8:05 PM EST
WHERE: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


The last time Jake Arrieta faced the Los Angeles Dodgers, he threw his first career no-hitter. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner would have to duplicate that feat Tuesday to top what the Chicago Cubs’ pitchers did to the visiting Dodgers in the opener of the three-game series.


The Cubs need a deep outing from Arrieta after burning through the bullpen Monday. Starter Jason Hammel left after two innings with cramping in his right hamstring before four relievers combined for seven perfect innings to complete a one-hitter in Chicago’s 2-0 victory. The Cubs have won six straight since a season-high three-game losing streak and they’ve allowed a total of five runs over the past four games. Monday’s loss was just the second in eight games for the Dodgers, who have allowed two or fewer runs in six of their last seven contests.
TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN, SportsNet Los Angeles, ABC 7 (Chicago)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Scott Kazmir (4-3, 4.84 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Jake Arrieta (9-0, 1.72)
Kazmir has been wildly inconsistent with his command, as he struck out 12 in his last start after walking seven in his previous outing. The 32-year-old was excellent Wednesday against Cincinnati, allowing one run and four hits over six innings in addition to the 12 strikeouts to win his second straight decision. Kazmir is 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in two starts against the Cubs, but he hasn’t faced them since 2010 with the Angels.
The Cubs have won Arrieta’s last 23 starts, tying the major-league record set by Atlanta’s Kris Medlen from 2010-12. Arrieta has won 20 straight decisions, including one Wednesday at St. Louis when he didn’t have his best stuff and allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings. Before his no-hitter at Los Angeles last season, Arrieta had struggled in two previous starts against the Dodgers, losing both in 2013.


WALK-OFFS
1. Cubs 2B/OF Ben Zobrist is 26-for-61 during a career-best 16-game hitting streak and has reached base in 35 consecutive starts.
2. Dodgers 2B Chase Utley is 0-for-10 with three strikeouts versus Arrieta.
3. Chicago RF Jason Heyward is 14-for-40 during a 10-game home hitting streak.

LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Pitching had been a trouble spot for the St. Louis Cardinals, but the rotation is starting to find a groove as the team continues a three-game series against the host Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Another strong start paved the way for a 6-0 victory Monday as St. Louis improved to 3-2 on its seven-game road trip.

Mike Leake, who has been sensational since a rocky start to the season, will take the mound Tuesday against struggling Milwaukee right-hander Wily Peralta. Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday homered among his three hits Monday and is 8-for-12 with a pair of blasts and four RBIs over the past three games. Brewers left field Ryan Braun has sat out two straight games due to an ailing neck and has missed nine of the past 15 games. It was only the second loss in seven games overall for Milwaukee, which has dropped four in a row to St. Louis at Miller Park.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, FSN Midwest (St. Louis), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Mike Leake (3-4, 3.90 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Wily Peralta (3-5, 6.62)

Even though he had his three-start winning streak halted, Leake is coming off another strong performance with seven innings of two-run ball at Washington. A pair of solo homers by the Nationals victimized Leake, who has surrendered four runs over 28 innings in his last four turns. Leake is 2-4 with a 4.72 ERA in 11 starts against the Brewers, including a no-decision on April 13 in which he allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.

Peralta has managed to string together a pair of decent outings, which represents progress for a pitcher who has yet to go beyond six innings in any of his 10 starts. The 27-year-old Dominican picked up the victory at Atlanta last time out, giving up two runs over 5 1/3 innings, which followed 5 2/3 innings of three-run ball in a loss to the Mets. Matt Carpenter is 16-for-35 with three homers off Peralta, who is 4-9 with a 5.00 ERA against St. Louis.

WALK-OFFS

1. After going 1-for-10 in his first two games since coming off the paternity list, Carpenter had four hits and scored three runs Monday.

2. Brewers C Jonathan Lucroy is 7-for-14 with nine RBIs during a four-game hitting streak.

3. Cardinals CF Stephen Piscotty is expected back in the lineup Tuesday after missing Monday's game with a stomach bug.

Hosmer has gone 11-for-21 with 12 RBIs during his hitting streak to raise his batting average 25 points to .323 and belted a three-run homer that capped a 6-2 victory in the series opener on Monday.

Paulo Orlando is riding a 13-game hitting streak after recording a double and a single Monday for the Royals, who have won 11 of their last 14 to take over first place in the American League Central. Kansas City goes after its 14th victory in its last 15 games against the Rays at home with Dillon Gee on the mound while Tampa Bay counters with Drew Smyly. The Rays have dropped eight of their last 10 contests overall to fall five games under .500 for the first time this season and managed two runs or fewer in their last four losses.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays LH Drew Smyly (2-6, 3.92 ERA) vs. Royals RH Dillon Gee (1-2, 3.86)

Smyly has recorded just one victory in his last six starts and has given up eight homers in that span – two in the loss to Miami last time out. The 26-year-old Arkansas native completed at least seven innings three times in his first four starts this season but none in the last six outings. Jarrod Dyson is 3-for-7 versus Smyly, who is 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 13 career appearances (five starts) against the Royals.

Gee suffered through his worst of three consecutive starts last time out, allowing six runs (five earned) and 10 hits over four innings at Minnesota. The 30-year-old Texan yielded four runs in 10 1/3 innings over his first two starts following seven relief appearances and served up three homers on Wednesday. Corey Dickerson is 3-for-6 with a homer against Gee, who is 5-6 with a 4.10 ERA in interleague play.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rays have belted 39 homers in 23 road games, which puts them on pace to threaten the major-league record of 138 set by San Francisco in 2001.

2. Dyson is 10-for-25 during his eight-game hitting streak and Royals rookie INF Whit Merrifield has hit safely in seven straight (12-for-32).

3. Tampa Bay committed three errors in the series opener and has recorded 11 miscues in its last seven games.... combined.

PREDICTION: Rays 6, Royals 2
