MLB.TV slate features deGrom-Cain, Yanks-Sox
- Updated: April 30, 2016
A marquee National League matchup, top starting pitching and the second Red Sox-Yankees rivalry game highlight Saturday’s slate of games, available on MLB.TV.
Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom takes the mound against San Francisco’s Matt Cain at 4:05 p.m. ET, as the reigning NL champs take on the always-dangerous Giants. In Minnesota, the Tigers’ Jordan Zimmermann puts his season-opening four-start win streak on the line against the Twins, while the resurgent Mat Latos does the same for the White Sox against the Orioles in Baltimore.
Aces Chris Archer and Zack Greinke, after early-season struggles, also take the mound in their respective games hoping to showcase their top form. And, of course, Boston and New York square off at Fenway Park.

deGrom is off to a fine start, although he’s only made a pair of starts around the birth of his son, Jaxon, and as he dealt with a lat issue. Still, he’s only allowed a single run in each outing, although his velocity is down from the heat he was throwing in last year’s Midsummer Classic.
