As always, Saturday brings us a full slate of MLB action. There are 15 games in the schedule, including some increasingly uncommon Saturday afternoon contests. MLB games will be played in three different countries this weekend.
Here's what you need to know going into Saturday's action.
The Cardinals and Reds begin a two-game series in Monterrey, Mexico. It is the first of two series in Monterrey this year (Angels will face Astros in May) and second of four series at alternate sites this season (Athletics vs. Mariners in Japan, Yankees vs. Red Sox in London).Jose Altuve has gone deep in a career-high four straight games and the Astros have won their last seven games, the longest winning streak in baseball so far this season. Altuve and the Astros will look to keep their streaks alive against the first-place Mariners.CC Sabathia returns from the injured list to join the Yankees and make the first start of his final season. The Yankees have lost four straight games overall and their problems go beyond all their injuries.The struggling Rockies are trying to snap their seven-game losing streak. They lost an 18-inning game Friday and have scored the third fewest runs in baseball this year (40).Chris Davis is in the lineup Saturday as he looks to end his MLB record hitless streak at 54 at-bats. Davis has not picked up a base hit since September 14 of last season.Select games can be streamed regionally via fuboTV (Try for free). For more on what channel each game is on, click here.
