Recap Roundups
June 03, 2015
Boston 6, Minnesota 3
David Ortiz hit a pair of doubles and snapped a five-game stretch without an RBI as the Boston Red Sox earned a 6-3 win over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park.
St. Louis 7, Milwaukee 4
It took catcher Yadier Molina about as long to explain it as it did the St. Louis Cardinals to figure out Milwaukee Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson in the bottom of the first inning on Wednesday.
NY Yankees 3, Seattle 1
The New York Yankees wanted to give Masahiro Tanaka an easy outing in his first game back from the disabled list and the Seattle Mariners obliged.
Arizona 9, Atlanta 8
By not trying to do too much, the Arizona Diamondbacks managed to do a lot Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't the impossible; but, in baseball terms, it was close.
Pittsburgh 5, San Francisco 2
Asked how a guy with 23 career home runs could have hit four of them in limited at-bats at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer thanked an unusual source.
Toronto 8, Washington 0
Mark Buehrle threw a six-hit shutout and his second straight complete game, but the veteran left-hander was also happy to talk about his single and hard slide into second base as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 on Wednesday night.
Philadelphia 5, Cincinnati 4
It ended with a whimper after a dropped throw by Cincinnati Reds reliever Ryan Mattheus in the bottom of the 11th inning resulted in the winning run and a 5-4 victory by the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
Oakland 6, Detroit 1
Sonny Gray's dominant pitching and Billy Burns' hot bat give the Oakland A's some hope that they can get back in the American League West race.
Minnesota 2, Boston 0
It felt like a May day at the ballpark on Wednesday night.
Miami 7, Chi. Cubs 3
Junior Lake made some enemies in the Miami Marlins' dugout on Wednesday night.
Chi. White Sox 9, Texas 2
Chicago White Sox left-hander Chris Sale is the kind of groove that is giving teams fit. The Texas Rangers were the latest to fall victim.
Houston 3, Baltimore 1
The Astros had already navigated the ballyhoo surrounding the debut of rookie right-hander Lance McCullers, but Wednesday night felt altogether different. It was his coming-out party.
Kansas City 4, Cleveland 2
Even Ripley would have a difficult time believing this: Jason Vargas is 3-0 against the Cleveland Indians this year and Corey Kluber is 0-3 against the Kansas City Royals.
Colorado 7, LA Dodgers 6
After a bitter loss Tuesday night, the Colorado Rockies insisted the defeat would not linger and produce any carryover effect.
San Diego 7, NY Mets 3
James Shields has dropped the "Big Game James" tag.
Tampa Bay 6, LA Angels 5
If the rest of the American League hasn't already taken notice of the Tampa Bay Rays, now would be a good time.
