Recap Roundups
July 23, 2015
NY Yankees 9, Baltimore 3
The New York Yankees had the second, third and cleanup batters in the order go hitless in 11 at-bats on Thursday.
Seattle 3, Detroit 2
Mike Zunino has endured a lot of failure this season. The Seattle Mariners' catcher failed twice in his only at-bat on Thursday, then delivered the biggest hit of the game.
Minnesota 3, LA Angels 0
Right-hander Ervin Santana returned to the scene of his earliest successes and frustrated the team that brought him to the major leagues.
Toronto 5, Oakland 2
In a series that began as Josh Donaldson's homecoming and ended as Scott Kazmir's departure, Toronto Blue Jays veteran right-hander R.A. Dickey wound up being a story.
Pittsburgh 7, Washington 3
Missing a turn in the starting rotation wasn't a problem for Francisco Liriano.
Chi. White Sox 8, Cleveland 1
Jeff Samardzija knows what time of year it is, and he knows what is at stake.
LA Dodgers 3, NY Mets 0
The New York Mets learned Thursday afternoon that they won't have to face Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke, he of the 43 2/3-inning scoreless streak, on Friday because Greinke's wife went into labor.
St. Louis 4, Kansas City 3
A makeup game in late July carried a late-October feel.
Houston 5, Boston 4
Surprisingly, the Houston Astros, who lead the majors in home runs, had yet to register a walk-off homer this season, at least until second baseman Jose Altuve rendered that footnote inaccurate.
Arizona 8, Milwaukee 3
The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired right-hander Zack Godley last winter because they believed he had the stuff to be a starter. Based on first impressions, they were more than right.
Miami 4, San Diego 0
The sabermetric crowd isn't fond of Miami Marlins right-hander Tom Koehler.
