Recap Roundups
July 15, 2017
NY Yankees 4, Boston 1
Didi Gregorius was not going to allow the Boston Red Sox to have back-to-back walk-off wins on consecutive nights.
Detroit 11, Toronto 1
Before Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus admitted that he had sought to emphasize a point with his pitching staff.
Chi. Cubs 10, Baltimore 3
Jake Arrieta certainly enjoyed coming back to Baltimore. The Orioles did not have quite as much fun.
St. Louis 4, Pittsburgh 0
There's history between St. Louis Cardinals starter Lance Lynn and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not ill will necessarily, but just a lot of familiarity.
Atlanta 8, Arizona 5
The Atlanta Braves finally scored against Patrick Corbin, then pinch hitter Lane Adams made sure the Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander wouldn't get another victory against them.
NY Mets 9, Colorado 3
Seth Lugo couldn't recall the exact details of his final collegiate home run. He'll definitely remember the exact details of his first professional home run.
LA Dodgers 7, Miami 1
The Dodgers have been playing baseball for 128 years, and Cody Bellinger on Saturday night became the first rookie in franchise history to hit for the cycle.
Minnesota 4, Houston 2
One night earlier, it was the Astros who benefitted from a fortuitous bounce en route to victory.
Seattle 4, Chi. White Sox 3
A bruised right knee is keeping Seattle slugger Nelson Cruz from running at full speed.
Washington 10, Cincinnati 7
The Washington Nationals erupted for seven runs in the seventh inning and then watched in agony as the Cincinnati Reds came back with seven runs in the last two innings against a beleaguered bullpen to make it close.
Milwaukee 3, Philadelphia 2
After the Milwaukee Brewers closed out the first half with victories in six of their last seven games, some wondered if the four-day All-Star break might stunt the team's momentum as the National League Central leader.
Texas 1, Kansas City 0
Cole Hamels is used to a ton of run support in his Texas Rangers starts this season.
San Diego 5, San Francisco 3
Hector Sanchez knows the drill of being a backup catcher.
Oakland 5, Cleveland 3
Khris Davis hit a two-run, walk-off homer for the Oakland Athletics, but it was rookie Matt Chapman who got the celebratory pie in the face and Gatorade shower after a 5-3 victory against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
Tampa Bay 6, LA Angels 3
The Tampa Bay Rays may not be on a record-setting roll like the L.A. Dodgers and Houston Astros, but there is no lack of confidence in their clubhouse.
