Recap Roundups
April 05, 2017
Minnesota 9, Kansas City 1
With a new front office leading the Minnesota Twins, analytics became even more of a focus in the offseason.
Washington 6, Miami 4
This has been an uneven spring for Tanner Roark, the right-handed starter for the Washington Nationals.
Baltimore 3, Toronto 1
The combination of a strong effort from starter Dylan Bundy and a pair of Baltimore home runs proved just enough for the Orioles on Wednesday night.
Atlanta 3, NY Mets 1
Bartolo Colon thoroughly enjoyed everything about his return to New York, from the video tribute while he was warming up, the creative signs and the reactions to his two at-bats.
Tampa Bay 4, NY Yankees 1
It was only one series for the Rays and one start for right-hander Alex Cobb, but Tampa Bay's 4-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday at Tropicana Field capped a promising beginning to the 2017 season.
Cincinnati 2, Philadelphia 0
Brandon Finnegan's success this season hinges on being more pitch-efficient and throwing first-pitch strikes allowing him to pitch deeper into games. After a 25-pitch first inning on Wednesday night, Finnegan rolled through the next six frames, had 13 first-pitch strikes and delivered one of the finest outings of his young career.
Boston 3, Pittsburgh 0
As Rick Porcello showed flashes of last year's dominance, Andrew Benintendi provided a glimpse of what might be to come in the future for the Boston Red Sox on Monday.
Boston 3, Pittsburgh 0
Sandy Leon let Chris Sale handle the bulk of the workload for seven innings before taking matters into his own hands in the 12th.

A night that could have been memorable for all the wrong reasons turned into a historic one for Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Houston 5, Seattle 3

Milwaukee 6, Colorado 1
Wily Peralta picked up where he left off at the end of the 2016 season, throwing five scoreless innings and striking out five as the Milwaukee Brewers earned their first victory of the year with a 6-1 decision over the Colorado Rockies Wednesday night at Miller Park.
Arizona 8, San Francisco 6
The Arizona Diamondbacks got their first real look Wednesday night at Taijuan Walker, their new, young power arm.
LA Angels 5, Oakland 0
