Recap Roundups
July 23, 2017
Cincinnati 6, Miami 3
For the Cincinnati Reds who are rebuilding around young pitching, it is encouraging to see a pitcher show good stuff and improvement from his previous starts. But, at some point, you want to see results. Right-hander Sal Romano did just that on Sunday afternoon.
Oakland 3, NY Mets 2
The Oakland Athletics lost two games this weekend in New York. But they also found an eighth-inning reliever and, on Sunday, earned a win when a young player found redemption for an earlier mistake.
Texas 6, Tampa Bay 5
For a team that came to Tropicana Field on a five-game losing streak, the Texas Rangers' three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays has been surprising but promising as Texas tries to claw back into postseason contention.
Cleveland 8, Toronto 1
The Corey Kluber Show is still going strong, and Sunday it left the Toronto Blue Jays wanting to go one place in particular.
Baltimore 9, Houston 7
In a season in which he missed two months with injuries, Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton still managed to make history.
Philadelphia 6, Milwaukee 3
Philadelphia Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff surrendered a lead just minutes after his offense gave him one. To make up for it, he went to the plate and started a fifth-inning rally that gave the Phillies all the runs they needed.
Detroit 9, Minnesota 6
The longer the at-bat continued for Minnesota Twins shortstop Eduardo Escobar against Detroit Twins pitcher Shane Greene in the seventh inning on Sunday, the more the tension built in an already long game.
Kansas City 5, Chi. White Sox 4
While Brandon Moss got Sunday's walk-off hit, it was made possible by two Whit Merrifield home runs.
Colorado 13, Pittsburgh 3
The Colorado Rockies are powering their way to a hot streak.
LA Angels 3, Boston 2
Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia didn't know anything about Parker Bridwell when the team obtained him in a modest trade with Baltimore in April.
San Diego 5, San Francisco 2
The San Diego Padres have beaten the San Francisco Giants so often this season that the wins are starting to look alike.
LA Dodgers 5, Atlanta 4
Logan Forsythe hit a bases-loaded, walk-off single in the 10th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
NY Yankees 6, Seattle 4
When the New York Yankees made a trade last week to shore up their bullpen, this is what they had in mind.
Washington 6, Arizona 2
The Washington Nationals hope their latest big win -- this over one of the National League's top starting pitchers -- doesn't somehow turn into a major loss.
Chi. Cubs 5, St. Louis 3
Willson Contreras is doing just about everything for the Chicago Cubs these days, including leading them back into first place.
