Two national cable games highlight today's TV schedule. All times Eastern.
1 p.m., FSN Wisconsin, SNY: Brewers at Mets. A Milwaukee win, followed by a St. Louis loss tonight, would give the Brewers a 9.5 game lead in the NL Central.
2 p.m., TBS, YES Network, FSN North: Yankees at Twins. The Twins beat the Yankees on Saturday, but New York held the lead in the AL East because the Red Sox lost to the Royals.
2 p.m., FSN Detroit, STO: Indians at Tigers. Detroit goes for the sweep behind Rick Porcello. Ubaldo Jimenez goes for Cleveland.
2 p.m., FSN Southwest, CSN Chicago: Rangers at White Sox. The Rangers' loss Saturday night allowed the Angels to creep to within five games of the AL West lead. Today, Derek Holland pitches against Gavin Floyd.
8 p.m., ESPN: Cardinals at Cubs. This matchup likely looked better when it was selected by the Worldwide Leader a few weeks ago. Instead, if the Cubs win, it could send the Cardinals into a tailspin. Also, if you are in Chicago and a determined baseball fan, you could attend two games on Sunday.
