Recap Roundups
September 16, 2017
LA Dodgers 3, Washington 2
The swagger is back for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Or at least manager Dave Roberts certainly hopes so.
Houston 8, Seattle 6
Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel did what was required of an ace on Saturday, working six strong innings to put his club in position to win before delivering a comfortable lead to his bullpen. What reliever Joe Musgrove did subsequently was equally vital to the Astros' success.
NY Yankees 9, Baltimore 3
The New York Yankees aren't going to go too in-depth about why they play so well against the Baltimore Orioles, especially at Yankee Stadium.
Chi. Cubs 4, St. Louis 1
If there were any lingering worries about Kyle Hendricks’ pitching proficiency following a recent disabled list stay, they were convincingly put to rest on Saturday.
Cleveland 8, Kansas City 4
The day after their 22-game winning streak was snapped, the Cleveland Indians tried to start another one as well as became division champions.
Cincinnati 2, Pittsburgh 1
It is easy to forget Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sal Romano is a 23-year-old rookie.
Boston 3, Tampa Bay 1
Boston continues to keep its foot on the gas pedal, and starting pitching is leading the way.
Chi. White Sox 10, Detroit 4
The Chicago White Sox have been at the bottom of the American League Central Division standings since the first game out of the All-Star break.
Philadelphia 5, Oakland 3
The Philadelphia Phillies' youth movement continued to make strides on Saturday evening against the Oakland Athletics.
Miami 7, Milwaukee 4
A little bit of film study and a little mechanical tweak made a big difference for Adam Conley.
NY Mets 7, Atlanta 3
If Jacob deGrom was suffering from a late-season swoon, you'll have a tough time convincing the Atlanta Braves.
Toronto 7, Minnesota 2
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has feasted on high fastballs this season. He's also feasted on Minnesota Twins' pitching.
Colorado 16, San Diego 0
Tyler Anderson made a triumphant return to the rotation Saturday night as the Colorado Rockies pounded the San Diego Padres 16-0 and gained ground in their pursuit of the postseason.
Arizona 2, San Francisco 0
The ace pitcher threw eight shutout innings, the closer recorded a perfect ninth and the star slugger belted a difference-making home run.
LA Angels 2, Texas 0
The difference between the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers came down to two pitches Saturday night.
