Recap Roundups
July 26, 2015
Baltimore 5, Tampa Bay 2
Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is generally an optimistic person, but he's genuinely encouraged by his team taking two of three on the road from the Tampa Bay Rays after Sunday's 5-2 win at Tropicana Field.
Chi. White Sox 2, Cleveland 1
It was as dominating as a team can be in sweeping a four-game series on the road.
NY Mets 3, LA Dodgers 2
The New York Mets spent the last two days extensively talking about Juan Uribe's experience and reputation for getting clutch hits.
Pittsburgh 3, Washington 1
Gerrit Cole does not spend a lot of time looking at the stat sheet, but he does know that he leads the major leagues with 14 wins.
Kansas City 5, Houston 1
Yordano Ventura pitched Sunday the way the Kansas City Royals needed him to pitch, not like the pitcher who had a 5.19 earned run average and one victory since May 19.
NY Yankees 7, Minnesota 2
New York Yankees right-hander Nathan Eovaldi has not needed much run support in his last handful of starts. His offense gave him plenty Sunday anyway.
Atlanta 3, St. Louis 2
When pitcher Matt Wisler was acquired by the Atlanta Braves as part of the six-player trade with the San Diego Padres on April 5 that sent ace closer Craig Kimbrel west, many fans viewed it as yet another salary dump for a rebuilding team.
Philadelphia 11, Chi. Cubs 5
It's been nearly 13 years since the Philadelphia Phillies had this kind of back-to-back production.
LA Angels 13, Texas 7
The growing legend of Mike Trout just increased by another page.
San Francisco 4, Oakland 3
Tim Hudson's first start at home as a 40-year-old turned out to be a memorable one, but not because of the calendar.
Seattle 6, Toronto 5
When veteran outfielder Franklin Gutierrez showed up for spring training with the Seattle Mariners after sitting out the 2014 season due to health issues, he didn't know what to expect.
Arizona 3, Milwaukee 0
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Jeremy Hellickson did not know what to call "that guy," and he certainly did not want to be him.
Colorado 17, Cincinnati 7
The inning was surreal, a win-the-lottery happening that was perfectly timed for the Colorado Rockies. Their 10-run outburst Sunday in the third, an explosion that included three home runs and five straight hits, did more than erase a two-run deficit.
San Diego 3, Miami 2
Odrisamer Despaigne doesn't have the overpowering stuff of some other pitchers imported from Cuba.
Boston 11, Detroit 1
David Ortiz couldn't be in Cooperstown, N.Y., to celebrate the induction of fellow Dominican and close friend Pedro Martinez into the Hall of Fame on Sunday.
