The Miami Marlins visit Wrigley Field to take on the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, May 20 at 1:20 PM CT. Expect breezy conditions with periods of rain and thunderstorms, a high near 68°F and a low around 55°F. Miami has thrived in late-game drama, recording its sixth walk-off victory Monday when Jesus Sanchez clubbed a homer and delivered a two-run triple. Having won four of five, the Marlins carry resilience and momentum into Game 2 of this three-game set. Chicago saw its three-game win streak snapped in Monday’s 8-7 loss, and reliever Porter Hodge now lands on the IL with an oblique issue.

The Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes pride themselves on making the simple plays — nothing flashy, just calculated execution. Over the past few seasons, this shared philosophy has made them consistent contenders in both the regular season and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now, once again, the two disciplined juggernauts meet in the Eastern Conference finals, which begin Tuesday night with Game 1 in Raleigh, N.C.

Two years ago, Florida swept Carolina in this very round. The Panthers would fall in the Stanley Cup Final to Vegas, but returned last season and completed the job, defeating

On Tuesday, they’ll hand the ball to right-hander Nick Martinez (2-4, 3.66 ERA), who has found his rhythm after a rocky start to 2024. Martinez will go toe-to-toe with Pirates southpaw Bailey Falter (2-3, 4.02 ERA) in what could be a pivotal game in a series that means more than the standings suggest. With postseason dreams still very much alive for both clubs, this NL Central clash is as much about building momentum

If you’re not paying attention from pitch one, you might just miss Jarren Duran doing something electrifying. The Boston Red Sox outfielder is becoming a highlight machine, and his spark at the top of the order has been instrumental in Boston’s recent run of form. In Monday’s series opener against the New York Mets, Duran opened the game with a leadoff double and followed up with an RBI triple in the second inning — his sixth triple of the season and 20th since the start of 2024, both tying for the MLB lead. These back-to-back extra-base hits extended his hitting streak to six games and helped fuel a 3-1 victory. “When he has nights like that, we usually come out
