Recap Roundups
August 09, 2017
Colorado 3, Cleveland 2
Nothing washes away the sour taste of a crushing loss like the thrill of a rousing victory, and the Colorado Rockies experienced the latter on Wednesday afternoon at Progressive Field.
Texas 5, NY Mets 1
Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister said he didn't give Martin Perez a chance at a complete game Wednesday because he wanted to try to add on to the team's lead in the top of the ninth inning.
Seattle 6, Oakland 3
Kyle Seager was on deck when Seattle Mariners teammate Nelson Cruz crushed a two-run, 450-foot home run into the left field seats in the third inning Wednesday afternoon against the Oakland Athletics.
LA Angels 5, Baltimore 1
Another day, another fine effort by a Los Angeles Angels rookie starting pitcher.
San Francisco 3, Chi. Cubs 1
It was bad enough for the Chicago Cubs that they left AT&T Park having lost twice in a three-game series in the wake of the San Francisco Giants posting a 3-1 win Wednesday afternoon.
Washington 10, Miami 1
Ryan Zimmerman had not hit a home run since July 30 and his batting average has gone down each month since a red-hot start in April.
NY Yankees 11, Toronto 5
Masahiro Tanaka was not at his best Wednesday night, failing to pitch the required five innings to qualify for the win.
Boston 8, Tampa Bay 2
The Boston Red Sox have baseball's longest win streak at eight games thanks to an 8-2 victory Wednesday night over the slumping Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
Cincinnati 8, San Diego 3
The Cincinnati Reds have been carrying three catchers on the roster for most of this season, with Tucker Barnhart and Devin Mesoraco getting the bulk of the starts, leaving little playing time for rookie Stuart Turner.
Detroit 10, Pittsburgh 0
Justin Verlander often flirted with no-hitters and tossed complete games earlier in his career. He nearly did both in his longest start of the season Wednesday night.
Philadelphia 3, Atlanta 2
Neither the Philadelphia players nor the coaches have an explanation of how the Phillies have managed to dominate the Atlanta Braves this season.
Minnesota 4, Milwaukee 0
At 44 years old, Bartolo Colon can still put on a show.
Chi. White Sox 7, Houston 1
Considering how poorly his last outing went, all Miguel Gonzalez was looking for Wednesday night was to take a step in the right direction.
St. Louis 8, Kansas City 5
After the St. Louis Cardinals' latest win Wednesday, Mike Matheny said he's not a cat person.
LA Dodgers 3, Arizona 2
Cody Bellinger didn't need long to convince one of the best pitchers in the majors that his rookie-season numbers are not a mirage.
