Recap Roundups
May 04, 2017
Cincinnati 4, Pittsburgh 2
Slowly but surely, the Cincinnati Reds are moving from rebuilding mode into winning mode. There is plenty of work to be done, but after taking three of four from the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Reds are back to .500 and looking to build some momentum.
Washington 4, Arizona 2
Max Scherzer has been dominant in three seasons with the Washington Nationals, winning the National League Cy Young Award last year and throwing two no-hitters in 2015.
Oakland 8, Minnesota 5
Oakland Athletics rookie starter Jharel Cotton displayed some maturity by overcoming early struggles on Thursday. Meanwhile, Minnesota five-year veteran Kyle Gibson was unable to turn his season around and was sent to the minors.
Texas 10, Houston 4
With the wind wreaking havoc on batted balls to center and left field, Texas Rangers third baseman Joe Gallo did what any perceptive power hitter would do given the circumstances and conditions: He went deep to right-center.
Chi. White Sox 8, Kansas City 3
Derek Holland pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Jose Abreu and Matt Davidson homered and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Thursday.
Chi. Cubs 5, Philadelphia 4
Albert Almora Jr. was already on the run from second base as teammate Matt Szczur slapped a 13th-inning infield grounder.
Colorado 3, San Diego 2
Veteran catcher Ryan Hanigan wasted little time in making his presence felt with the Colorado Rockies.
Baltimore 8, Boston 3
It's finally over.
Tampa Bay 5, Miami 1
The Tampa Bay Rays won Florida's "Citrus Series" against the Miami Marlins for the season, cruising to a 5-1 win Thursday night at Tropicana Field to take three of four games from their in-state rivals.
Milwaukee 5, St. Louis 4
For the St. Louis Cardinals or the few who braved damp, cold conditions to watch Thursday night's game, it was one they'll probably want to forget.
Seattle 11, LA Angels 3
If you can't join 'em, beat 'em.
