Recap Roundups
April 23, 2017
Cincinnati 7, Chi. Cubs 5
Patrick Kivlehan made the most of a surprise start.
Houston 6, Tampa Bay 4
The Houston Astros haven't had to face much adversity in the first three weeks of the season, but wins like Sunday's can make up for that later in the season.
Boston 6, Baltimore 2
Tempers flared when Boston Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes threw high and inside to the Baltimore Orioles' Manny Machado on Sunday.
Pittsburgh 2, NY Yankees 1
Ivan Nova dominated his former team, keeping the bats of the New York Yankees off balance for seven innings in a 2-1 Pittsburgh Pirates' win Sunday afternoon.
Philadelphia 5, Atlanta 2
Back-to-back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the eighth inning propelled the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-2 victory and a three-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.
Chi. White Sox 6, Cleveland 2
The Chicago White Sox wasted little time getting their offense going after being shut out for two straight days.
Detroit 13, Minnesota 4
Michael Fulmer came to the park Sunday and checked out Detroit's lineup. The Tigers' starting pitcher saw Jim Adduci's name in the order and penciled into right field.
St. Louis 6, Milwaukee 4
It was Mike Leake's roughest outing of the season, but considering the body of work he has put forth so far, that is not saying much.
Texas 5, Kansas City 2
Joey Gallo and Robinson Chirinos hit home runs, Yu Darvish struck out eight in eight innings, and Matt Bush got his first save as the Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Sunday.
Colorado 8, San Francisco 0
A minor mechanical adjustment paid off in a huge way Sunday for Kyle Freeland.
Toronto 6, LA Angels 2
Marcus Stroman provided the early lightning and the Toronto Blue Jays' bats supplied the late thunder.
Seattle 11, Oakland 1
Seattle Mariners shortstop Taylor Motter understands he is likely to return to the bench if Jean Segura, as expected, is reinstated from the disabled list Tuesday.
LA Dodgers 6, Arizona 2
Brandon McCarthy has a good look in his eye, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday. McCarthy's right arm is functioning well, too.
Miami 7, San Diego 3
The Miami Marlins were on the ropes.
Washington 6, NY Mets 3
Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy stood in front of his locker Sunday night, smiled thinly, struck a polite tone and offered up the most vanilla explanation possible for his dominance of the New York Mets, the team for whom he played his first eight big league seasons.
