  • The Big Matchup down in the ATL: Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves host Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres for game two of a crucial four-game series as both teams currently find themselves in postseason positioning.
  • The Defending Champions on the Downturn: Marcus Semien and the defending champions Texas Rangers try to get their season back on track against Taylor Ward and the Los Angeles Angels in a American League West divisional clash in Anaheim.

FOX Sports continues their 2024 MLB ⚾ regular season coverage on Saturday, May 18 with the third week of "Baseball Night in America" on FOX. As always, coverage of the games will start at 7:00 PM ET. Due to the Padres-Braves game rainout, the entire country will see the Angels vs. Rangers game instead.

"Baseball Night in America" on FOX this week will be airing alongside the Mariners at the Orioles game on FS1 (7:00 PM ET start; a three-hour delay for this game due to rain) with Alex Faust and Tom Verducci on the call.

The entire country will watch Corey Seager and the defending champion Texas Rangers visit Taylor Ward and the Los Angeles Angels as the Rangers try to erase this elongated losing streak that the team is currently on. Despite the Rangers' inconsistent play over the first 44 games or so, they are very much alive in the American League West race (only trailing the division leading Seattle Mariners by 1.5 games as of Wednesday, May 15). Adam Amin handles the play-by-play alongside 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski
