Recap Roundups
July 20, 2016
Cincinnati 6, Atlanta 3
Anthony DeSclafani is a silent assassin.
Minnesota 4, Detroit 1
When Max Kepler hits a home run, good things usually happen for the downtrodden Minnesota Twins.
Cleveland 11, Kansas City 4
Mike Naquin compiled a record-setting day for a Cleveland Indians rookie.
St. Louis 4, San Diego 2
First, trainers stanched the flow of blood from Carlos Martinez's nose.
St. Louis 4, San Diego 2
Once a heavy thunderstorm finally reached Busch Stadium, Tuesday night's scheduled game between the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals didn't stand a chance.
Chi. Cubs 6, NY Mets 2
Kyle Hendricks said that when things are going well even some bad pitches will often have no ill effects.
Tampa Bay 11, Colorado 3
It took more than a month, but the Tampa Bay Rays were finally able to celebrate the modest achievement of back-to-back victories Wednesday.
Houston 7, Oakland 0
After losing back-to-back games, the Houston Astros needed to win Wednesday to avoid a series sweep against the Oakland A's and to end their six-game road trip on a good note.
Seattle 6, Chi. White Sox 5
The return of Felix Hernandez got off to an awful start Wednesday afternoon, when the Chicago White Sox jumped out to a quick lead over the Seattle Mariners on Todd Frazier's three-run, first-inning homer.
Toronto 10, Arizona 4
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Josh Donaldson has not played at Chase Field much, so he was not sure if his homer in the first inning had the distance. It did, of course. He seems to be at his best in interleague play.
NY Yankees 5, Baltimore 0
The talk about whether the New York Yankees should buy or sell at the non-waiver trade deadline still exists. Scouts are flocking to Yankee Stadium to see any players who may be traded, and rumors are flying.
Washington 8, LA Dodgers 1
Gio Gonzalez allowed just one run in six innings, and his Washington teammates hit four homers as the Nationals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 Wednesday.
Philadelphia 4, Miami 1
Jeremy Hellickson did not consider Wednesday night's start against the Miami Marlins an audition.
Milwaukee 9, Pittsburgh 5
The Milwaukee Brewers were a frustrated team following successive walk-off losses, so they decided to start taking better at-bats and swinging at better pitches.
Boston 11, San Francisco 7
If the Tuesday game between the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants served as a World Series preview, baseball fans are in for quite a treat.
St. Louis 3, San Diego 2
Jedd Gyorko's answer to how it felt to blast six homers in five games against his old team was as simple and as on point as his swing at the moment.
LA Angels 7, Texas 4
Watching the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers the past three days, it was unclear which team was in last place and which team was in first.
