Recap Roundups
May 22, 2016
Detroit 9, Tampa Bay 4
Beating a struggling Chris Archer was good for Detroit but the Tigers came out of a 9-4 win over Tampa Bay with problems of their own.
Seattle 5, Cincinnati 4
Sunday morning brought bad news for the Seattle Mariners, who lost shortstop and leadoff batter Ketel Marte for at least a couple weeks with a sprained left thumb. But manager Scott Servais said his club has enough depth to overcome while Marte is out.
Washington 8, Miami 2
Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker called Ben Revere his team's "igniter."
NY Mets 3, Milwaukee 1
For the third time in as many games Sunday, a New York Mets starting pitcher provided enough length to lighten the load on a taxed bullpen. Now the Mets can only hope the other two members of the rotation can follow suit with first place on the line.
Boston 5, Cleveland 2
David Ortiz came within a bad bounce of a potential cycle and drove in three runs, Rick Porcello became Boston's first seven-game winner and Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his hitting streak to 27 games, powering the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
Boston 5, Cleveland 2
At 40 years old, playing in his final season and never blessed with great speed, David Ortiz isn't a strong bet to come as close to his first career cycle as he did Sunday at Fenway Park.
Philadelphia 5, Atlanta 0
Manager Pete Mackanin said Saturday he thought his Philadelphia Phillies team looked a little down after dropping two straight games to the Atlanta Braves.
Chi. White Sox 3, Kansas City 2
Chicago White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier arrived to the clubhouse early Sunday to analyze video of some of his recent at-bats.
Texas 9, Houston 2
Cole Hamels completed what Colby Lewis and Cesar Ramos started earlier this weekend, stifling the Houston Astros while leading the Texas Rangers to a 9-2 win on Sunday and a three-game series sweep at Minute Maid Park.
Toronto 3, Minnesota 1
Like a group of chemists, the Toronto Blue Jays found just the right mixture of good hitting, good pitching and bad blood on Sunday.
Arizona 7, St. Louis 2
The St. Louis Cardinals are normally difficult outs for any big league pitcher, but when he's on his game, Zack Greinke is tough for anyone to solve.
LA Angels 10, Baltimore 2
Jered Weaver became only the second player to make 300 starts on the mound in a Los Angeles uniform on Sunday and was victorious in that milestone start, helping the Angels to a 10-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Angel Stadium.
LA Angels 10, Baltimore 2
Jered Weaver became only the second player to make 300 starts on the mound in a Los Angeles uniform on Sunday and was victorious in that milestone start, helping the Angels to a 10-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Angel Stadium.
NY Yankees 5, Oakland 4
You know you're on a roll when even your baserunning is making a difference.
LA Dodgers 9, San Diego 5
There is a theory of baseball that argues the longer a game goes in terms of innings and time, the wider the margin between the reward of winning and the cost of losing.
San Francisco 1, Chi. Cubs 0
Madison Bumgarner is at it again.
