Padres, Yankees and White Sox Strike Deals Ahead of Busy MLB Monday

Bronx, New York — On Monday, May 5, the San Diego Padres (22-11) are set to face the New York Yankees (19-15) in a much-anticipated matchup. Nick Pivetta will start for the Padres, while Carlos Rodón takes the mound for the Yankees. The Padres enter the Bronx on a five-game winning streak, having swept the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend with a decisive 4-0 win. Pitcher Stephen Kolek made an impressive debut, allowing just four hits in six scoreless innings.

Meanwhile, the Yankees are looking to break their two-game losing streak after suffering defeats against the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. They fell 7-5 in their last contest, with pitcher Will Warren allowing five runs over 4.2 innings. The stakes are high as both teams look to regain momentum in the season ahead.

In another matchup today, the Houston Astros (17-16) will visit the Milwaukee Brewers (17-18). Ronel Blanco is on the mound for Houston, while Milwaukee counters with Tobias Myers. The Astros recently lost to the Chicago White Sox, and while they’re third in the AL West, they aim to bounce back against the Brewers, who also dropped their last series.

Finally, the Chicago White Sox (10-24) will take on the Kansas City Royals (19-16) in Kansas City. Shane Smith is slated to pitch for Chicago, who recently ended a series losing streak with a win against the Astros. The Royals, one of the hottest teams in the league, have won eight of their last ten games.
