April 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Tampa Bay Rays go for the sweep against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at Progressive Field in Cleveland. First pitch is set for 1:10 PM ET, with light rain and calm crosswinds in the forecast. Tampa Bay enters at 18-11 and riding a six-game winning streak, while Cleveland sits at 15-16 and has dropped four straight after another frustrating night at the plate. The Rays took Tuesday’s meeting 1-0 behind a dominant outing from Nick Martinez and another strong bullpen finish. Cleveland had late traffic but could not cash in, which has become the bigger concern in this series. The Guardians are getting quality pitching, but the offense has not done enough to support it.

April 29, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Houston Astros visit the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with first pitch set for 6:35 PM ET on MASN. Houston enters at 11-19 and sits last in the AL West, while Baltimore comes in at 14-15 and third in the AL East after taking Tuesday’s series opener 5-3. This is a pretty important spot for Houston, maybe more than the market is showing. The Astros have dropped 16 of their last 21 and are just 3-11 on the road, but the lineup is still producing traffic. They had 11 hits Tuesday and five extra-base hits, yet went only 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. That is frustrating, but it also hints at some

Chicago enters at 18-12 and remains right in the NL Central race, while San Diego is 19-10 and still sitting near the top of the NL West picture. The Padres took the opener 9-7, but the Cubs answered with an 8-3 win on Tuesday, so this rubber match has a little extra edge. It is also a near coin-flip
