Recap Roundups
May 21, 2017
Colorado 6, Cincinnati 4
Bud Black sees Kyle Freeland's swings during batting practice, so the Colorado manager wasn't surprised that the left-hander launched a 72 mph slider into the right-field bullpen, especially on a day when the Rockies were, as Black said, feeling "hitterish."
LA Angels 12, NY Mets 5
The Los Angeles Angels have grown accustomed to receiving solid work from the fill-in pitchers in their starting rotation. On Sunday afternoon, the Angels began getting some contributions from the non-marquee members of their lineup.
NY Yankees 3, Tampa Bay 2
In a reversal of roles, it was Brett Gardner providing the power and Aaron Judge making the key defensive play to help the New York Yankees snap a three-game losing streak Sunday.
Pittsburgh 1, Philadelphia 0
David Freese insisted it was true that he told Pittsburgh Pirates teammate Chris Stewart the other day it would be fun to get hit by a pitch with the bases loaded "because I never had it before."
Toronto 3, Baltimore 1
There is something about the Baltimore Orioles that brings out the best in Toronto's Marco Estrada.
Washington 3, Atlanta 2
Washington ace Stephen Strasburg had his good stuff on Sunday and that turned out to be too much for the Atlanta Braves.
Cleveland 8, Houston 6
Before stepping foot in Minute Maid Park and spending the weekend reinforcing their status as reigning American League champions, the Cleveland Indians didn't quite look the part of juggernauts. Once again, that shoe fits.
Kansas City 6, Minnesota 4
Rain washed out Saturday's game between the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals in Minneapolis, and the teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday.
St. Louis 8, San Francisco 3
Adam Wainwright was the only St. Louis Cardinals starter to allow a run in their weekend series with the San Francisco Giants.
Chi. Cubs 13, Milwaukee 6
Saturday's game between the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field has been rained out. The game will be made up on July 6.
Chi. Cubs 13, Milwaukee 6
After a so-so start to the season, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant figured he and his teammates would have a big day at the plate sooner or later.
Chi. Cubs 13, Milwaukee 6
Kris Bryant hit two home runs and reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances, and the Chicago Cubs cruised to a 13-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday afternoon.
Boston 12, Oakland 3
The Boston Red Sox had lost three straight and were in danger Sunday of being swept by the Oakland Athletics in a four-game road series for the first time since 1932, when the A's played at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.
Chi. White Sox 8, Seattle 1
The Chicago White Sox picked up right where they left off.
LA Dodgers 6, Miami 3
Opening Day was officially April 3. However, as far as Adrian Gonzalez is concerned, opening day was May 18.
San Diego 5, Arizona 1
The San Diego Padres were reeling going into the finale of a seven-game homestand before coming away with a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Minnesota 8, Kansas City 4
Brandon Moss homered twice among three hits to support Jake Junis' first major league start, and the Kansas City Royals powered their way to a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
Minnesota 8, Kansas City 4
Bad weather, poor performance and injuries led to a lot of questions about the Minnesota Twins' rotation.
Texas 5, Detroit 2
The Texas Rangers are beginning to solve their problems on the road and against left-handed starting pitching.
