Recap Roundups
July 02, 2015
Cleveland 5, Tampa Bay 4
Mike Aviles' solo home run in the 10th inning Thursday gave the Cleveland Indians a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, but the four-game sweep was all about dominating pitching for the Indians at Tropicana Field.
Miami 5, San Francisco 4
Before Tommy John elbow surgery, Jose Fernandez didn't lose at home.
Pittsburgh 8, Detroit 4
Manager Clint Hurdle used the word "tough" three times in summing up the Pittsburgh Pirates' sweep of its three-game interleague series with the Detroit Tigers.
Chi. Cubs 6, NY Mets 1
Jonathan Herrera's teammates are used to seeing the utilityman warm up with the starters. The Chicago Cubs could also get accustomed to watching him do what he did during a rare start Thursday afternoon.
Milwaukee 8, Philadelphia 7
The way the Milwaukee Brewers' season is going, a four-game sweep on the road is about as good as it gets.
Texas 2, Baltimore 0
In a series where the Texas Rangers' top hitters came through in the clutch, two unlikely heroes made the difference in the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles.
Boston 12, Toronto 6
If not for run support, Wade Miley would have not have had much going for him Thursday night.
Atlanta 2, Washington 1
Cameron Maybin got another a chance to show why he has become known as one of the top clutch hitters for the Atlanta Braves.
San Diego 5, St. Louis 3
When San Diego Padres interim manager Pat Murphy sent up Will Venable to pinch-hit for pitcher Shawn Kelley in the top of the 11th inning Thursday night, he didn't know how poorly Venable had performed in that role this year.
Minnesota 2, Kansas City 0
The Kansas City Royals make Kyle Gibson look like Hall of Famer Bob Gibson.
Arizona 8, Colorado 1
For Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, the formula is pretty simple: no walks equals no problem.
Oakland 4, Seattle 0
Scott Kazmir won 15 games and made the American League All-Star team last season, his first with the Oakland A's.
