Recap Roundups
September 20, 2017
NY Yankees 11, Minnesota 3
The personal milestones were nice, and sweeping the Minnesota Twins to widen their lead in the American League wild-card race also was enjoyable for the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
Miami 9, NY Mets 2
The Miami Marlins may never have another pitcher with the combined talent and outgoing personality of Jose Fernandez, who died last year in a boat crash.
Oakland 3, Detroit 2
Daniel Mengden did not feel as sharp as he did the last time he pitched. The opposition still could not push across any runs against him.
San Francisco 4, Colorado 0
The San Francisco Giants sent general manager Bobby Evans to Japan this week to scout right-hander Shohei Otani, a potential 2018 Major League Baseball import.
Boston 9, Baltimore 0
Chris Sale received a standing ovation from a large contingent of Boston Red Sox fans at Camden Yards.
Pittsburgh 6, Milwaukee 4
The aim was the same, but the second time was the winner.
Philadelphia 7, LA Dodgers 5
The Los Angeles Dodgers' celebration is on hold. Aaron Altherr has a lot to do with it.
Kansas City 15, Toronto 5
Mike Moustakas was in a home run drought.
St. Louis 9, Cincinnati 2
Despite the increasing pressures of a pennant race, St. Louis Cardinals rookie right-hander Luke Weaver is gaining confidence with each start.
Tampa Bay 8, Chi. Cubs 1
For almost half the season, Tampa Bay Rays starter Blake Snell couldn't find a way to earn a victory. Now he can't lose.
Washington 7, Atlanta 3
Thanks to a meltdown by the Atlanta bullpen, Washington Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez got a rare victory over the Braves Wednesday night.
Houston 4, Chi. White Sox 3
When a national publication this week highlighted the struggles Houston Astros right-hander Brad Peacock endures while working a third time through a batting order, it apparently served as a bit of motivation -- not necessarily for Peacock, but for manager A.J. Hinch.
Arizona 13, San Diego 7
Arizona turned San Diego's Petco Park into Muscle Beach on Wednesday night.
Cleveland 6, LA Angels 5
The Los Angeles Angels picked a bad time to face the hottest team major league baseball has seen in many years.
Texas 8, Seattle 6
The Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners are going in opposite directions as they chase the American League's second wild card.
