Recap Roundups
May 05, 2017
NY Yankees 3, Chi. Cubs 2
The New York Yankees were one strike away from defeat on Friday when Brett Gardner found a pitch he liked.
Cincinnati 13, San Francisco 3
Cincinnati second baseman Jose Peraza is in one of those grooves where seemingly everything he hits finds a hole. That was the case for nearly all the Reds' hitters on Friday night.
Baltimore 4, Chi. White Sox 2
Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said they always plan for a "what-if" situation regarding the starting pitcher leaving very quickly. Showalter was forced to put that plan into action Friday night, and Gabriel Ynoa helped everything work out.
Pittsburgh 4, Milwaukee 0
A span of roughly 2 1/2 hours used to be enough to play a major league game. Not so much anymore, but that can be a lot of time to kill -- especially in the midst of a game.
Washington 4, Philadelphia 2
Throughout the last few seasons, the Philadelphia Phillies have found it hard enough to beat Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg when he's on his game.
NY Mets 8, Miami 7
Citi Field is located more than 2,000 miles to the east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and more than 5,000 feet closer to sea level. But as he managed his 1,000th game with the New York Mets on Friday night, Terry Collins felt like he was back in the 1980s and the city he called his baseball home longest before landing in the Big Apple.
Toronto 8, Tampa Bay 4
Kendrys Morales does something the rest of his teammates with the Toronto Blue Jays struggle to do -- get hits off Chris Archer.
St. Louis 10, Atlanta 0
Lance Lynn, who missed last season after Tommy John elbow surgery, won his fourth straight start as the St. Louis Cardinals gave the veteran right-hander a lot more offensive support than he needed in a 10-0 rout of the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
Minnesota 4, Boston 3
In uncharacteristic fashion, Joe Mauer pumped his fist rounding first base. When he reached home plate, he was mobbed by teammates before being picked up by Miguel Sano.
Kansas City 3, Cleveland 1
Cleveland pitching coach Mickey Callaway went to the mound to strategize on how to pitch to Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning.
Arizona 6, Colorado 3
Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke loathes pitching at Coors Field but again did well there Friday night.
Detroit 7, Oakland 2
It's safe to say that Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, wants nothing to do with a sophomore slump.
Houston 7, LA Angels 6
If ever there was a time to pack up the Rally Monkey and beat the traffic, this seemed to be it. Down 6-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, the Los Angeles Angels faced not only a four-run deficit, but they faced the hottest pitcher in the majors in Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who entered the game 5-0 with a 1.21 ERA.
Texas 3, Seattle 1
The Texas Rangers were hoping to follow their longest nine-inning game of the season and a long flight from Houston with a relatively stress-free opener in Seattle on Friday night.
LA Dodgers 8, San Diego 2
Rookie Cody Bellinger is making the Los Angeles Dodgers look smart. Once ticketed for a return to the minors, Bellinger stayed put and he's making hitting home runs look easy.
