Recap Roundups
April 14, 2017
Pittsburgh 4, Chi. Cubs 2
David Freese took his time looking for just the right pitch against Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks on Friday.
Washington 3, Philadelphia 2
The first two weeks of the season have been shaky for the Washington Nationals' bullpen, which had the best ERA in the National League in 2016.
NY Yankees 4, St. Louis 3
Aroldis Chapman is dominant against most teams, but when it comes to the St. Louis Cardinals, he appears downright impossible to face.
Baltimore 6, Toronto 4
Wade Miley's past two starts have been a study in contrasts.
Detroit 7, Cleveland 6
Detroit Tigers Manager Brad Ausmus could hardly believe his eyes.
Milwaukee 10, Cincinnati 4
After playing three seasons in Korea, Milwaukee first baseman Eric Thames is impressed by how hard many young major league pitchers are throwing these days.
Miami 3, NY Mets 2
Catcher J.T. Realmuto not only won the game for the Miami Marlins, he also saved the bullpen.
Tampa Bay 10, Boston 5
If you looked at the pitching matchup heading into Friday night's game at Fenway Park, there was every reason to believe the Red Sox would open a four-game series with a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Atlanta 5, San Diego 2
Ender Inciarte matched his homer total for all of last season with his third in two games and the Atlanta Braves made the opening of SunTrust Park a winning one Friday night.
Chi. White Sox 2, Minnesota 1
The cheering and excitement coming from the Chicago White Sox visitors' clubhouse could be heard outside of the closed doors.
Kansas City 7, LA Angels 1
The slumbering Kansas City Royals' bats are beginning to wake up.
Houston 7, Oakland 2
After going 20-8 and winning the American League's Cy Young Award in 2015, Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel had a nightmare encore.
LA Dodgers 7, Arizona 1
The anticipation of a lights-out matchup between Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke didn't meet the hype. While Kershaw dominated the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers knocked Greinke around.
Seattle 2, Texas 1
What appeared to be a three-run homer off the bat of Seattle's Mitch Haniger turned out to be a long single that provided the go-ahead run for the Mariners, and that was enough on a Friday night when veteran Felix Hernandez was back at the top of his game.
San Francisco 8, Colorado 2
San Francisco Giants left fielder Chris Marrero never realized how difficult it can be catching a routine fly ball.
