MLB This Week: Three days out of five

There are MLB day-games to enjoy on three days out of five this working week.

The week starts with the traditional Patriots Day early game from Fenway Park. The Red Sox host the Rays in the final game of a four-game series (Boston lead 2-1) with coverage beginning on BT Sport/ESPN at 16.00.

Wednesday offers up three day-games total from the NL Central and the AL West, plus an interleague match between the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners got off to a slow start but have picked up in recent days and the King’s Court section should be in full voice for this game with Felix Hernandez set to start for the home team.

There are four early games on Thursday, all from the American League and currently scheduled to include appearances from Chris Sale, Corey Kluber and Ervin Santana among others.

Santana has been outstanding in his first three starts for the Twins so his outing against Cleveland will be worth watching to see if he can keep that run going.

All times are listed in BST. Unfortunately, none of the day-games have been selected to be the MLB.com Free Game this week.
