Recap Roundups
May 16, 2015
Atlanta 5, Miami 3
The Atlanta Braves, thanks to Jace Peterson's first career home run, a grand slam in the second inning, never trailed in a 5-3 victory over the Miami Marlins on Saturday.
Minnesota 6, Tampa Bay 4
After missing chance after chance to extend their lead and watching the Tampa Bay Rays tie the score as a result, the Minnesota Twins finally took advantage late in the game.
Detroit 4, St. Louis 3
On a day when Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera reached a milestone, he might have made his biggest contribution with his arm.
Chi. Cubs 4, Pittsburgh 1
When Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein made his play for left-hander Jon Lester during the offseason, he must have had days like this in mind.
LA Angels 6, Baltimore 1
The Los Angeles Angels found some offense from a few unlikely sources on Saturday night, and that helped starter Matt Shoemaker break a three-game losing streak.
Philadelphia 7, Arizona 5
The Philadelphia Phillies, the worst offensive team in the major leagues, received a boost from two unexpected sources Saturday night.
Houston 6, Toronto 5
For every three strikeouts that lead to questions about the logic behind Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch penciling first baseman Chris Carter into the lineup, Carter delivers one swing to validate the decision.
NY Yankees 5, Kansas City 1
C.C. Sabathia is pitching like an ace again, making the New York Yankees hopeful the 34-year-old left-hander can turn back the clock to when he was a big winner and throwing 200-plus innings every season.
San Francisco 11, Cincinnati 2
After Brandon Crawford singled in the second inning of Saturday night's game, he caught just a glimpse of Hunter Pence, who had doubled, racing home from second base.
NY Mets 14, Milwaukee 1
For the New York Mets, understatement was the only way to put into context one of the biggest -- and most unexpected -- offensive outbursts in franchise history.
Cleveland 10, Texas 8
The Cleveland Indians used perhaps the toughest out in baseball during the last three weeks to defeat the Texas Rangers an eighth consecutive time.
Washington 4, San Diego 1
Max Scherzer dominated the Padres on Saturday night, which was not a major surprise to San Diego manager Bud Black.
Chi. White Sox 4, Oakland 3
Chicago White Sox left-hander John Danks dug himself a 2-0 hole in the first inning Friday night, giving up a two-run shot to Oakland A's designated hitter Billy Butler.
Boston 4, Seattle 2
After hitting a home run that played a part in a 4-2 win over Seattle on Saturday night, Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz spent a lot of time in the visiting clubhouse talking about Mariners starter Felix Hernandez.
Colorado 7, LA Dodgers 1
It took a groin injury to stop Jorge De La Rosa from inflicting more pain on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
