Recap Roundups
September 09, 2017
Cleveland 4, Baltimore 2
How does it feel to win 17 games in a row?
NY Yankees 3, Texas 1
New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino kept the Texas Rangers at bay long enough for the bats to wake up with seven dazzling innings of one-hit ball.
Oakland 11, Houston 1
Rookie right-hander Daniel Gossett threw six strong innings, and the Oakland Athletics defeated the Houston Astros 11-1 in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum.
Milwaukee 15, Chi. Cubs 2
The Milwaukee Brewers arrived at Wrigley Field having lost three straight games, but still hopeful they could put a dent in the divisional deficit that divided them from the Chicago Cubs.
Toronto 5, Detroit 4
The fortunes of the Toronto Blue Jays have been tied to center fielder Kevin Pillar in the past two games.
Philadelphia 5, Washington 4
Mark Leiter Jr. was born in Florida and his grandparents live in Jupiter on the east coast of the state.
NY Mets 6, Cincinnati 1
Kevin Plawecki doesn't know if the ball sounds any different coming off his bat. All he knows is he feels a lot more comfortable at the plate than at any other time over the last three seasons with the New York Mets.
Atlanta 6, Miami 5
With the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning, Atlanta's Ender Inciarte went to the plate with the simple idea of putting the ball in play. That approach changed when the first two pitches sailed wide of the strike zone.
Boston 9, Tampa Bay 0
Chris Sale snapped back to Cy Young Award-caliber form against the Tampa Bay Rays, even though the Boston Red Sox really did not need him to do so on Saturday night.
Chi. White Sox 13, San Francisco 1
Emerging from the trainer's room in the visitors' clubhouse at Guaranteed Rate Field late Friday night, San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval flashed a grin and subtly wiped his brow with a towel.
Chi. White Sox 13, San Francisco 1
Jose Abreu had trouble sleeping Friday night. As Hurricane Irma struck his native Cuba, Abreu checked on family members.
Kansas City 5, Minnesota 2
Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain came up with big hits, but it was another outstanding performance by rookie right-hander Jake Junis that laid the foundation for this Kansas City Royals victory.
St. Louis 4, Pittsburgh 3
Paul DeJong has experienced a lot of firsts in his rookie season with the St. Louis Cardinals. Playing meaningful games in September is one of the newest.
Oakland 11, Houston 4
The Oakland Athletics had eight rookies in their lineup for the second game of a doubleheader Saturday against the powerful Houston Astros.
San Diego 8, Arizona 7
The San Diego Padres will not make the playoffs, but they are making it difficult on their fellow National League West teams who are in prime position.
Colorado 6, LA Dodgers 5
It is the three-game winning streak that has gone under the radar outside the shadow of the Rocky Mountains as baseball's focus has been trained on the freefalling Los Angeles Dodgers.
Seattle 8, LA Angels 1
The Los Angeles Angels' frustrating trip to Seattle was about more than just not being able to make up ground in the wild-card race Saturday night.
