Recap Roundups
May 07, 2016
NY Yankees 8, Boston 2
Eight is a magic number the New York Yankees have rarely reached through the first month of a nightmarish start.
Oakland 8, Baltimore 4
A steady rain postponed the first game of a three-game series between the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics on Friday.
LA Dodgers 6, Toronto 2
There is not much room for error for a team facing Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw.
Texas 10, Detroit 5
Adrian Beltre regained his power stroke right when the Texas Rangers needed an explosion from their veteran slugger.
St. Louis 6, Pittsburgh 4
The St. Louis Cardinals finally cracked the code against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
St. Louis 6, Pittsburgh 4
Minutes after Saturday's game, a thunderstorm drenched Busch Stadium.
Chi. Cubs 8, Washington 5
Addison Russell dropped a bases-loaded double down the right-field line for two go-ahead runs as the Chicago Cubs went on to beat the Washington Nationals 8-5 on Saturday and claim their eighth series win in nine tries.
Chi. Cubs 8, Washington 5
It almost doesn't matter who Joe Maddon calls on to start or sub these days, the Chicago Cubs just keep on winning.
San Francisco 2, Colorado 1
Matt Duffy doubled in Conor Gillaspie with two outs in the bottom of the 13th inning on Saturday, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
San Francisco 2, Colorado 1
A 13-run inning one night. A 13-inning game two days later.
Kansas City 7, Cleveland 0
This was exactly what the struggling Kansas City Royals needed. Lockdown pitching and plenty of hitting.
Baltimore 5, Oakland 2
Ubaldo Jimenez showed the type of control and command on Saturday that the Baltimore Orioles hoped for when they signed him two years ago.
Chi. White Sox 7, Minnesota 2
Chris Sale recovered from a shaky first inning to dominate Minnesota and become MLB's first seven-game winner as the Chicago White Sox cruised past the Twins 7-2 on Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Seattle 3, Houston 2
Perhaps the most foreboding reality facing the Houston Astros regarding how Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano has tortured them this season is the fact that 13 games remain in the season series.
Arizona 4, Atlanta 2
It took a trip back to Atlanta for Shelby Miller to get his first victory with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Milwaukee 13, Cincinnati 7
Aaron Hill's approach at the plate recently is to keep things simple. So, despite homering in his previous two at-bats Saturday, he wasn't about to change things up with the bases loaded in the 10th inning.
Philadelphia 4, Miami 3
Unable to solve starting pitcher Tom Koehler, the Philadelphia Phillies found their opening when the Miami Marlins went to their bullpen.
NY Mets 6, San Diego 3
Right-hander Bartolo Colon hit the first home run of his major league career and held the San Diego Padres to three runs in 6 2/3 innings Saturday night to lead the New York Mets to a 6-3 win at Petco Park that snapped a two-game losing streak.
Tampa Bay 4, LA Angels 2
Logan Forsythe hit a two-run single in the top of the ninth inning to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night at Angel Stadium.
