MLB Today: Texas visits Toronto, site of wild playoff game

A look at what's happening all around the majors Monday:

FLIPPY

Jose Bautista and the Toronto Blue Jays welcome the Texas Rangers to town for the first time since their raucous Game 5 of the AL Division Series. That decisive matchup at Rogers Centre last October included Bautista's high-flying bat flip, a couple of angry confrontations and fans throwing debris.

FAMILIAR FACE

San Francisco Giants newcomer Johnny Cueto returns to Great American Ball Park to face the Cincinnati Reds. The All-Star made the first 213 starts of his career for Cincinnati before being traded last July to the Kansas City Royals in a package that included pitcher Brandon Finnegan. Cueto signed with San Francisco in the offseason and has done well so far, going 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA. He'll face Finnegan (1-1, 3.86) in this matchup.

BACK AGAIN

Jason Hammel (3-0, 0.75) carries the NL's best ERA into Pittsburgh when the Cubs visit PNC Park for the first time since last year's wild-card game. Jake Arrieta outpitched Gerrit Cole to win that matchup 4-0 in October. Cole will start this game against Hammel.

A HOME RUN

AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel starts the series opener vs. the Minnesota Twins at Minute Maid Park. The Astros lefty is 2-3 with a 4.41 ERA overall this season, but has won 17 straight decisions at home dating to 2014.

WANTS ONE

At 0-4, James Shields starts for the San Diego Padres at home against the Colorado Rockies. He is 13-11 with a 3.86 ERA in 38 starts with San Diego since signing a $75 million, four-year contract as a free agent before the 2015 season.
