Recap Roundups
July 01, 2015
Cincinnati 2, Minnesota 1
If Wednesday's game was Johnny Cueto's last as a Cincinnati Red at Great American Ball Park, he made it memorable.
Toronto 11, Boston 2
Justin Smoak has to wait for his chances to play.
Oakland 4, Colorado 1
The Oakland A's had to believe it was going to be their day when designated hitter Billy Butler hit his fifth career triple leading off the second inning, then scored on a sacrifice fly.
Seattle 7, San Diego 0
Interim manager Pat Murphy was asked the key question Wednesday afternoon after the San Diego Padres' back-to-back shutout losses to the Seattle Mariners at Petco Park.
Baltimore 4, Texas 2
The last time Wei-Yin Chen pitched into the eighth inning, he was rewarded with a short trip to the minors.
NY Yankees 3, LA Angels 1
The Los Angeles Angels had their hands full Wednesday afternoon, first facing the hard-throwing Nathan Eovaldi, all while dealing with the resignation of general manager Jerry Dipoto.
Milwaukee 9, Philadelphia 5
The Milwaukee Brewers have just one game remaining at Citizens Bank Park, but given their ambush of the Philadelphia Phillies, they may never want to leave.
Pittsburgh 9, Detroit 3
A.J. Burnett put on a how-to-pitch clinic and Pittsburgh hitters brought back memories of the old Lumber Company from the 1970s.
Cleveland 8, Tampa Bay 1
Three nights in a row, Cleveland Indians pitchers took perfect games into the sixth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, but none came as close to a no-hitter as Carlos Carrasco did Wednesday night.
Atlanta 4, Washington 1
A rain delay of two hours and nine minutes may have worked in Atlanta's favor, with rookie starter Matt Wisler seemingly unfazed and the Braves' offense finally getting untracked.
Chi. Cubs 2, NY Mets 0
Following a narrow victory Tuesday night, Chicago Cubs manager/disc jockey Joe Maddon asked for suggestions for some magic-themed songs for the rest of the week.
Miami 6, San Francisco 5
The Miami Marlins had hit into five double plays.
Houston 6, Kansas City 5
En route to reaching the halfway point of the season with a win total hardly anyone expected, the Houston Astros were dealt a blow that will sternly test the momentum established over the past three months.
Chi. White Sox 7, St. Louis 1
There was so much stopping and starting at Busch Stadium Wednesday night that it might have resembled nearby I-64 at rush hour rather than a ballpark being pelted with one rain cell after another.
LA Dodgers 4, Arizona 3
Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez celebrated the anniversary of the best day of his life with another pretty good one Wednesday.
