LA Angels of Anaheim (10-13) at New York Yankees (13-11), 1:05 p.m.

Probable Starting Pitchers: Los Angeles - Joe Saunders (3-1, 3.41) New York - Phil Hughes (1-0, 0.00)

Phil Hughes will try to build off a successful first start of the season when he takes the hill for the New York Yankees this afternoon in the finale of a four-game set against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Yankee Stadium.

Hughes made his season debut this past Tuesday against Detroit and twirled an outstanding game, holding the Tigers scoreless through six innings. Hughes scattered just two hits and also struck out six batters in helping New York capture the 11-0 victory.

Hughes has made one career start against the Angels, but there was not many positive things the young hurler accomplished in that meeting. In that matchup, which took place on August 20, 2007, Hughes was wildly inconsistent and allowed five runs on four hits and five walks in 6 1/3 innings. He also struck out four batters in the contest and did not factor in the decision.

Taking the mound for the Angels this afternoon will be Joe Saunders, who is also coming off a solid victory. The last time the southpaw was on the bump, he held the Orioles to just four runs -- two earned -- on 10 hits on Tuesday. Saunders lasted six innings for the Angels and helped push the team to a 7-5 victory.

Saunders has only squared off against the Bronx Bombers three times in his career. In those three starts, the crafty lefty has accumulated a poor 7.63 earned run average along with a 1-1 record.

Yesterday, Matt Palmer threw three-hit ball into the seventh inning for his second big league win, while Torii Hunter keyed a four-run seventh inning with a two-RBI double as the Angels earned an 8-4 victory over New York.

Howie Kendrick went 2-for-5 and drove in the go-ahead run in the big inning, while Kendry Morales added a pair of hits with a homer and two runs batted in for the Angels, who dropped the first two of this series but have won four of their last six.

Palmer (2-0) has now won his first two starts of the season. After beating Detroit in his Angels debut on April 23 despite giving up four earned runs in six innings, he limited the Yankees to just one run on Saturday. The right- hander, who was 0-2 in three starts for San Francisco last year, walked two and struck out a pair over 6 1/3 innings.

Yankees ace CC Sabathia (1-3) lost his second straight start and is 0-2 in his last four outings since earning his lone victory of the season at Kansas City on April 11. He worked five scoreless innings before unraveling and was tagged for five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits with one walk and five strikeouts in 6 2/3 frames.

The Yankees had a season-high four-game win streak stopped and had won five in a row in their new ballpark.

Jorge Posada clubbed a two-run homer for New York. He also homered on Friday and had the winning hit, a two-run single in the ninth inning, of his team's 10-9 triumph that night. Robinson Cano went 0-for-4 in defeat and saw his 18- game hitting streak come to an end.

Since the beginning of the 2006 season, the Angels have collected a strong 20-12 mark against the Yankees. Anaheim won seven of its 10 meetings with the Yanks last season, but the teams split their four matchups at the old Yankee Stadium.

Cleveland Indians (9-15) at Detroit Tigers (12-11), 1:05 p.m.

Probable Starting Pitchers: Cleveland - Cliff Lee (1-3, 3.94) Detroit - Justin Verlander (1-2, 6.75)

- Justin Verlander will try to build off his last outing when he takes the hill this afternoon for the Detroit Tigers, who close out a three-game set against the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park.

Verlander had his best showing of the year in his last start, holding the New York Yankees scoreless over seven innings on Monday. The right-hander scattered seven hits in the 4-2 victory and also struck out nine batters while walking none.

Unfortunately, it was only the first victory on the season for Verlander, who has been shaky to start the year, having posted a 1-2 overall record with a subpar 6.75 earned run average.

Putting together two consecutive strong outings could prove difficult for Verlander, who has struggled in his career against the Indians. In 15 starts against the Tribe, the young hurler has achieved a miserable 4-10 mark to go along with an equally-poor 6.70 ERA.

Countering Verlander will be Cliff Lee, who is also coming off his best start of the new campaign. It has been a rough start to the year for last season's American League Cy Young winner, who has posted just a 1-3 mark with a 3.94 ERA.

However, the last time the southpaw was on the hill he tossed eight scoreless innings against Boston on Monday, scattering five hits while striking out five batters. Unfortunately, Lee's strong showing did not finish with a win, as the Indians were defeated 3-1 in the final inning.

This will be the 18th career start for Lee against the Tigers. In his previous 17 showdowns with the team from Motown, the southpaw has collected a 5-6 ledger with a 5.21 earned run average.

On Saturday, Curtis Granderson smacked a two-run homer, part of a three-run eighth inning that rallied Detroit past Cleveland, 9-7.

Adam Everett added a grand slam for the Tigers, who halted a three-game losing streak. Ryan Raburn, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen also knocked in runs for Detroit.

Joel Zumaya (1-0) got the win after throwing a scoreless eighth inning, and Fernando Rodney allowed two hits in the ninth but held on for his fifth save. Tigers starter Zach Miner gave up six hits and five runs in five innings.

Asdrubal Cabrera had two hits and three RBI for the Indians, losers in three of their last five. Shin-Soo Choo drove in two runs while Victor Martinez hit safely twice, knocked in a run and scored twice.

Rafael Betancourt (0-1) was tagged for the loss and a blown save, as he was charged with three hits and three runs -- two earned -- over 1 2/3 relief innings. The Tribe's Aaron Laffey yielded six hits and five runs with five walks in his 3 1/3-inning start.

Cleveland won 11 of its 18 matchups with the Tigers last season and is 13-8 in its 21 most recent visits to Motown.

Baltimore Orioles (9-15) at Toronto Blue Jays (17-9), 1:07 p.m.

Probable Starting Pitchers: Baltimore - Jeremy Guthrie (2-1, 5.20) Toronto - Scott Richmond (3-0, 2.70)

The Baltimore Orioles will try to snap out of their recent funk when they battle the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon in the finale of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.

On Saturday the Orioles fell to the Blue Jays, 5-4, in a thrilling 11-inning battle. It was the fifth consecutive setback for Baltimore and the team's eighth loss in its last 10 matchups. Adam Jones was 3-for-6 with a home run and Aubrey Huff had two RBI for the slumping Orioles, while Nick Markakis finished 0-for-4 with two walks and two runs scored but had a 17-game hitting streak snapped.

Brad Bergesen got the start for Baltimore and gave up three runs on six hits in six innings of work. Brian Bass (0-1) was saddled with the loss after giving up the deciding run in the 11th.

The hero for the Blue Jays was Aaron Hill, who tied the game in the 10th with a solo homer and drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th.

Marco Scutaro, Adam Lind and Raul Chavez each drove in runs for the Blue Jays, who have won three of their last five games. Toronto's Robert Ray recorded a no decision in his major league debut, allowing three runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings. Jason Frasor (4-0) earned the win after hurling a scoreless frame in relief.

If the O's are going to climb back into the win column today, they will need a superb performance from starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. However, Guthrie enters this game on a down note, having gone 0-1 over his last three starts.

The last time Guthrie was in action, the right-hander allowed three runs on six hits in five innings against Texas on Monday. The Orioles eventually lost by a 6-4 margin, but Guthrie did not factor in the decision.

Guthrie is only 1-2 in seven starts against the Blue Jays, but the 30-year-old has mustered a respectable 3.09 earned run average in those outings.

The Blue Jays will turn to the red-hot Scott Richmond, who is riding a personal three-game winning streak. Richmond is coming off a tremendous effort against Kansas City on Tuesday in which the right-hander held the Royals to just one run on five hits in seven innings. Richmond walked three batters in the win, but also struck out five.

The 29-year-old has made one previous start against the O's and was outstanding, holding Baltimore scoreless in six innings while scattering four hits last September.

Dating back to the beginning of last season, the Blue Jays have posted a 14-6 record against Baltimore, including an 8-3 mark at the Rogers Centre.

Boston Red Sox (15-9) at Tampa Bay Rays (10-15), 1:35 p.m.

Probable Starting Pitchers: Boston - Brad Penny (2-0, 8.66) Tampa Bay - James Shields (2-2, 3.74)

James Shields will toe the rubber this afternoon at Tropicana Field for the Tampa Bay Rays, who will try to close out a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox with a victory.

Shields comes into this matchup with an even 2-2 mark, but he has been the victim of a lack of run support over his last two starts. After losing 1-0 to Seattle on April 23, the right-hander held Minnesota to just three runs in 6 2/3 innings of work this past Tuesday. Shields struck out four batters, but also walked four and allowed seven hits in the no-decision.

One of the losses for Shields this season occurred in the season opener against Boston. The 27-year-old was pummeled by the Red Sox, allowing five runs on nine hits in just over five innings of work.

In nine career starts against Boston, Shields has endured plenty of struggles, having posted a 2-5 mark and a lackluster 5.59 ERA.

Countering Shields will be Brad Penny, who is 2-0 on the season despite having a horrendous earned run average of 8.66. Penny did not last long in his previous outing, as the right-hander was pounded for seven runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and three walks in just 2 2/3 innings of work Tuesday at Cleveland.

Penny has enjoyed little success against Tampa in his career, having posted a 1-2 ledger with a 5.49 ERA.

In yesterday's game between these teams, Nick Green finished 3-for-5 with three RBI as Boston outslugged Tampa Bay, 10-6.

Kevin Youkilis also drove in three runs for the Red Sox, who had lost the first two games in the series by 13-0 and 6-2 scores. J.D. Drew added two RBI, Mike Lowell homered and Dustin Pedroia also knocked in a run in the win.

Boston starter Tim Wakefield (3-1) was not strong in the win, allowing seven hits and five runs with five strikeouts and three walks over five-plus innings.

Carlos Pena hit his major-league leading 11th homer and knocked in a pair of runs for the Rays, who suffered their fifth loss in their last eight games. Evan Longoria and Pat Burrell also knocked in two runs apiece.

Jeff Niemann (2-3) was tagged with the loss for allowing seven hits and six runs -- five earned -- while walking three and fanning three in just three frames.

Since the beginning of last season, the Rays have collected a solid 14-10 mark against Boston during the regular season. Tampa Bay also edged the Red Sox in seven games during last October's AL Championship Series to claim its first- ever pennant.

Kansas City Royals (13-11) at Minnesota Twins (12-12), 2:10 p.m.

Probable Starting Pitchers: Kansas City - Gil Meche (1-2, 3.77) Minnesota - Scott Baker (0-3, 9.82)

Despite dealing with some back trouble during the week, Gil Meche will still take the hill this afternoon for the Kansas City Royals, who close out a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome.

Meche is coming off his worst outing of the season, as the right-hander lasted just 3 2/3 innings Tuesday against Toronto, allowing five runs on seven hits and five walks en route to the setback. It was the second straight loss for Meche, who is now just 1-2 with a 3.77 earned run average on the year.

In 16 career starts against Minnesota, Meche has been mediocre at best, having posted a 7-5 mark with a 4.53 ERA.

Taking the hill for Minnesota will be Scott Baker, who has struggled tremendously to start the new year. In just 14 2/3 innings of work this season, the right-hander has been pounded for 16 runs on 21 hits, seven of which have been home runs.

Baker was no match for the bats of Tampa Bay in his last start, as the 27- year-old surrendered four runs on six hits in six innings this past Monday. Baker did strike out seven batters, but still fell to 0-3 on the year with the 7-1 setback.

The Twins are hoping Baker can turn his season around this afternoon against Kansas City, a team he has enjoyed some success against in his career. In nine previous outings versus the Royals, the young hurler has posted a 5-2 ledger with an impressive 2.60 earned run average.

On Saturday, Alberto Callaspo went 3-for-6 and drove in a run during Kansas City's three-run 11th inning, as the Royals topped Minnesota, 10-7, to even this series.

Craig Breslow (0-1) started the 11th for Minnesota but was ineffective, walking Coco Crisp and Willie Bloomquist to start the frame. After a fielder's choice left runners at the corners, pinch-hitter Mark Teahen walked to load the bases and end Breslow's day.

Knuckleballer R. A. Dickey came in and walked John Buck, who batted 0-for-5 in Saturday's game, to force in a run. Callaspo followed with a run-scoring groundout to second, and David DeJesus then singled to left to bring home Teahen for a 10-7 Royals lead.

Dickey got out of the inning without further damage, but Royals closer Joakim Soria (1-0), who got the final two outs of the 10th inning, finished out the game in the bottom half.

Callaspo had two doubles while Bloomquist also finished with three hits, including a solo homer, for the Royals. Miguel Olivo finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in for Kansas City, which rebounded from a 7-5 loss in Friday's series opener.

Royals starter Brian Bannister allowed six runs -- three earned -- on eight hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings, and didn't factor into the decision.

Joe Mauer went 4-for-6 with a double and RBI for the Twins, his second game this season after missing the Twins' first 22 with lower back inflammation. He is now 6-for-9 to start the season.

Michael Cuddyer went 2-for-4 with a homer and walk for Minnesota, which had a three-game win streak snapped. Delmon Young ended 3-for-4 with a pair of runs driven in.

Twins starter Glen Perkins gave up five runs on 10 hits in six innings of work.

The Royals have won four of their last six against the Twins, but Minnesota won 12 of the 18 meetings a season ago.
