Recap Roundups
July 18, 2017
Pittsburgh 4, Milwaukee 3
Starling Marte received a warm reception Tuesday in his first game after serving an 80-game suspension. Then he and his Pittsburgh Pirates teammates rallied with four runs in the sixth inning to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 at PNC Park.
Baltimore 12, Texas 1
The Orioles have plenty of power in their lineup, and Chris Davis helped show the Texas Rangers what Baltimore can do with home runs on Tuesday.
Arizona 11, Cincinnati 2
On a night when they acquired slugging outfielder J.D. Martinez in a trade with the Detroit Tigers, the slumping Arizona Diamondbacks produced one of their biggest offensive outputs of the season.
Philadelphia 5, Miami 2
Maikel Franco made an adjustment, and it paid off.
St. Louis 5, NY Mets 0
Six seasons as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals has taught Mike Matheny there are plenty of times he has to make a decision with which Matheny the big league player might not have agreed.
Boston 5, Toronto 4
Hanley Ramirez hit the home run that finally ended a very long baseball game early Wednesday morning, but he preferred to talk about his team.
Chi. Cubs 5, Atlanta 1
The Chicago Cubs continued their second-half surge, and catcher Willson Contreras was once again right in the middle of it.
LA Dodgers 1, Chi. White Sox 0
Clayton Kershaw admitted he was a little rusty after a nine-day layoff, but he was effective enough to handle the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.
Houston 6, Seattle 2
With the return of staff ace Dallas Keuchel looming and the rotation that was hamstrung by injury approaching excess, Astros manager A.J. Hinch will soon face a challenging decision on what to do with right-hander Brad Peacock.
NY Yankees 6, Minnesota 3
Coming in after an early deficit, four relievers gave the New York Yankees a big boost in Minnesota on Tuesday with 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Detroit 9, Kansas City 3
J.D. Martinez was in the original Detroit lineup, due to bat fifth for the Tigers on Tuesday.
Colorado 9, San Diego 7
Slumping Carlos Gonzalez showed some offensive life, and Mark Reynolds ended a long homer drought Tuesday night as the Colorado Rockies held off the San Diego Padres 9-7 for their 1,000th win at Coors Field.
Tampa Bay 4, Oakland 3
The Tampa Bay Rays trailed by a run and were down to their last out with nobody on base against Oakland Athletics closer Santiago Casilla in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday night.
Washington 4, LA Angels 3
Relievers Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle each had an impact in their first game as members of the Washington Nationals. But the team's best debut of the night was by Edwin Jackson.
San Francisco 2, Cleveland 1
For nine innings Tuesday night, Conor Gillaspie got to watch a baseball game for his 30th birthday.
