It's a busy 13-game MLB slate today, highlighted with several day games, action-packed night games, and some notable returns to the mound.

Houston Astros star Justin Verlander returns to the mound after suffering a right calf strain back in late August when the Astros head to Baltimore to face the Orioles. Verlander was recently passed up in the American League Cy Young race by Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease.

Meanwhile, Aaron Judge looks to tie or possibly break Roger Maris' single-season home run record for the Yankees tonight at home against their hated rival Boston Red Sox, while the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies match up in an NL East showdown to try and improve their wild card standings.
