Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The Bronx Bombers will be looking for some easy wins early this week when they play host to the Nationals at Yankee Stadium. CC Sabathia (5-4, 3.68 ERA) will get the ball for New York in the series opener on Tuesday night; the lefthander was beaten by the Red Sox in his last trip to the mound, allowing four earned runs over seven innings. Countering for the Nats will be Shairon Martis (5-1, 5.04 ERA); the righthander has allowed just three earned runs over his last 12 innings.

Meanwhile, an all-Texas interleague matchup in Arlington has the Astros’ Wandy Rodriguez (5-5, 2.82 ERA) taking on the Rangers’ Kevin Millwood (6-4, 2.72 ERA). Lefthander Rodriguez is 0-3 with a no-decision in his last four trips to the mound, but against the Cubs last time out he allowed just one earned run over seven innings. Righthander Millwood is coming off consecutive wins over the Red Sox and Blue Jays, surrendering just one unearned run over 14 2-3 innings.

Cincinnati hosts Atlanta on Tuesday in an NL-only matchup, but the rest of the slate is made up of interleague contests: the Mets at Baltimore, Milwaukee at Cleveland, Toronto at Philadelphia, Florida at Boston, Pittsburgh at Minnesota, Arizona at Kansas City, Detroit at St. Louis, Tampa Bay at Colorado, Seattle at San Diego, Oakland at the Dodgers, and the Angels at San Francisco. As well, the Cubs will begin a series at Wrigley Field on Tuesday against the White Sox.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, there are a pair of WNBA contests on the Tuesday schedule, with Connecticut at Chicago and Minnesota at Sacramento. The Monarchs are coming off a 115-104 loss to Phoenix in their last outing on Saturday, despite Nicole Powell’s 28-point performance. Sacramento point guard Ticha Penicheiro missed that game with a thumb injury and is questionable to play Tuesday night.
