Recap Roundups
April 06, 2017
Cincinnati 7, Philadelphia 4
Michael Lorenzen is serious about becoming Major League Baseball's first two-way player. On Thursday afternoon, the right-handed reliever further legitimized his ability to one day do just that.
Minnesota 5, Kansas City 3
The loud music had been silenced, but the positive energy was still evident in the Minnesota Twins' clubhouse following Thursday's win.
Colorado 2, Milwaukee 1
Nolan Arenado had been hitting the ball well through the first three games of the 2017 MLB season, but he hadn't yet cleared the fences.
Chi. Cubs 6, St. Louis 4
A play no one could ever remembering seeing before Thursday was the catalyst for the Chicago Cubs' winning rally.
Chi. White Sox 11, Detroit 2
James Shields said he had too many walks and erratic moments on Thursday, but the outcome was still quite encouraging for a pitcher who lost 19 games last year.
LA Dodgers 10, San Diego 2
Yasiel Puig flexed his muscles against the San Diego Padres on Thursday afternoon.
Oakland 5, LA Angels 1
Ryon Healy keyed a four-run third inning with a two-run home run and Andrew Triggs combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday afternoon.
Miami 4, Washington 3
The Miami Marlins were a strike away from being swept in a three-game series to start the season in Washington.
NY Mets 6, Atlanta 2
Travis d'Arnaud wore the crown Thursday night. More important for the New York Mets, Matt Harvey took a big step toward earning his comic book nickname.
Toronto 5, Tampa Bay 2
Toronto designated hitter Kendrys Morales went into the Thursday game with just a .125 average and one RBI, but manager John Gibbons wasn't surprised at all that he hit a grand slam to power the Blue Jays to a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
Seattle 4, Houston 2
There was little reason to believe the Seattle Mariners would continue at the ineffective clip they established during the first three games of the season with runners in scoring position. Eventually, someone in the lineup would deliver.
Arizona 9, San Francisco 3
The Diamondbacks used big bats to overcome a team that usually gives them big trouble at Chase Field.
