The Los Angeles Dodgers open a road series against the Washington Nationals on Friday, bringing early-season momentum into a matchup with one of the league’s hottest young offenses.

First pitch between the Athletics and Houston Astros is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. (ET) on Friday, Apr. 3.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who finished the 2025 season with a 3.65 ERA, 3.93 FIP, with 186 strikeouts to 73 walks in 182.1 innings pitched.

Man City vs. Liverpool will air in the US on ESPN and ESPN Plus, and is also available via ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited. The pick of this weekend's FA Cup quarterfinals sees Man City host Liverpool in a blockbuster cup clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City will look ​to secure a historic eighth straight semi-final appearance in the FA Cup when ‌they face Liverpool on Saturday, manager Pep Guardiola said.

Liverpool, by contrast, are increasingly relying on cup competitions for success, still alive in both the FA Cup and Champions League.
