Recap Roundups
May 20, 2017
Oakland 8, Boston 3
The Oakland Athletics trailed by a run when they came to the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon at Oakland Coliseum.
Pittsburgh 6, Philadelphia 3
David Freese predicts that teammate Adam Frazier might win a batting championship at some point. That's lofty praise, especially for a second-year player who only recently became a regular in the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup.
Cleveland 3, Houston 0
Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona spoke to expectations and how they don't change regarding personnel, whether stars or stop-gaps.
Cincinnati 12, Colorado 8
The Cincinnati Reds badly needed a win on Saturday, and one big swing of the bat by Scott Schebler and a big arm summoned from Triple-A helped them snap a seven-game losing streak.
Tampa Bay 9, NY Yankees 5
Corey Dickerson didn't expect to get hit by a pitch Saturday, but the New York Yankees appeared to be willing to do anything they could to take the bat out of his hand.
Atlanta 5, Washington 2
Rookie Rio Ruiz hit his first major league homer and veterans Matt Kemp and Tyler Flowers also went deep as the Atlanta Braves continued their power display against the nemesis Washington Nationals.
NY Mets 7, LA Angels 5
Nothing about Terry Collins' five-decade career in professional baseball has been easy. Why should the game in which he became the longest-tenured manager in New York Mets history be any different?
San Francisco 3, St. Louis 1
Jeff Samardzija knew he had no choice, not if he wanted the San Francisco Giants to win on Saturday.
Detroit 9, Texas 3
Justin Verlander tried to look at the bright side before facing a team with a 10-game winning streak.
Baltimore 7, Toronto 5
BALTIMORE-- Welington Castillo hit just one home run this season before the Toronto series began on Friday, but the Baltimore Orioles catcher found his power stroke the past two games against the Blue Jays.
Chi. White Sox 16, Seattle 1
Mike Pelfrey didn't fully appreciate Avisail Garcia until he became his teammate with the Chicago White Sox this season.
Miami 10, LA Dodgers 6
Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton said a Friday confrontation with the Dodgers as well as the Marlins' recent poor play provided a spark in a Saturday win over Los Angeles.
Arizona 9, San Diego 1
It's a great plan for success.
