Recap Roundups
September 10, 2017
Toronto 8, Detroit 2
Teoscar Hernandez was so excited by his two homers and five RBIs Sunday afternoon that he rushed off to be with visiting family immediately after the Toronto Blue Jays' 8-2 win over the Detroit Tigers.
Cincinnati 10, NY Mets 5
As he stood next to home plate umpire Shane Livensparger and first base umpire Jerry Layne during the performance of "God Bless America" in the seventh inning Sunday, Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price decided it'd be a bad idea to resume his argument once the song ended.
Atlanta 10, Miami 8
The Atlanta Braves did it to Miami again, walking off for the fifth time against the Marlins this season.
Washington 3, Philadelphia 2
Nationals manager Dusty Baker decided to give some of his veteran everyday players the day off Sunday, including first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, second baseman Daniel Murphy, third baseman Anthony Rendon and center fielder Michael A. Taylor.
Tampa Bay 4, Boston 1
There wasn't anything the Tampa Bay Rays could do to help on Sunday as Hurricane Irma began to bear down on their home city of St. Petersburg nearly 1,500 miles away in Florida.
Chi. White Sox 8, San Francisco 1
A day after he hit for the cycle for the first time in his career, Jose Abreu came up with an encore.
Kansas City 11, Minnesota 3
Don't stand too close to Eric Hosmer if one doesn't want to get burned.
St. Louis 7, Pittsburgh 0
Most of the accolades handed out to St. Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina over the years have centered on his Gold Glove-caliber defense.
Milwaukee 3, Chi. Cubs 1
The Milwaukee Brewers have used tidy pitching to sweep back squarely into the postseason picture.
NY Yankees 16, Texas 7
The New York Yankees lived up to their Bronx Bombers nickname Sunday against the Texas Rangers.
Oakland 10, Houston 2
It is probably not wise for a last-place team in September to be overly boastful.
Colorado 8, LA Dodgers 1
The Colorado Rockies needed a positive weekend to maintain their hold on the National League's second wild-card spot. They ended up getting all of that and more.
LA Angels 5, Seattle 3
Justin Upton's tie-breaking, two-run double in the top of the eighth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Arizona 3, San Diego 2
There is no closer controversy in Arizona. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo made clear Sunday. However, he does have a second reliever capable of shutdown saves.
Cleveland 3, Baltimore 2
Another day, another victory for the streaking Cleveland Indians, who haven't lost a game since Aug. 23.
