Recap Roundups
July 29, 2015
Cleveland 12, Kansas City 1
Corey Kluber's teammates have owed him a game like this. Wednesday they delivered.
Detroit 2, Tampa Bay 1
Detroit's Justin Verlander outdueled Tampa Bay Rays' Chris Archer as the Tigers didn't get a baserunner until the seventh inning but scored two unearned runs, avoiding a sweep with a 2-1 win Wednesday afternoon at Tropicana Field.
Pittsburgh 10, Minnesota 4
Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen played a starring role in a 10-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field on Wednesday.
Chi. Cubs 3, Colorado 2
Like all starting pitchers, Jon Lester has tunnel vision before an outing and usually concentrates solely on what he needs to do to get outs.
Arizona 8, Seattle 2
The Arizona Diamondbacks never really bought into the belief that they were just a National League afterthought, and now their play is beginning to match their collective belief.
San Francisco 5, Milwaukee 0
A little more than a year removed from being acquired in a trade and watching as friends and ex-teammates change addresses at this year's deadline, veteran right-hander Jake Peavy is feeling right at home with the San Francisco Giants.
Baltimore 2, Atlanta 0
A recent surge has put the Baltimore Orioles back in the thick of the playoff race.
Toronto 8, Philadelphia 2
Troy Tulowitzki was greeted by a standing ovation when he stepped to the plate for the first time as a Toronto Blue Jay in the first inning Wednesday.
Chi. White Sox 9, Boston 2
One week completely changed the Chicago White Sox's outlook.
Washington 7, Miami 2
Call him The Mick, Part Two.
San Diego 7, NY Mets 3
The television in the visiting manager's office late Wednesday night was tuned to the postgame press conference with New York Mets manager Terry Collins. A few feet away, San Diego Padres interim manager Pat Murphy sat at his desk gazing at his laptop.
Texas 5, NY Yankees 2
The Texas Rangers snagged ace Cole Hamels and beat the New York Yankees.
Houston 6, LA Angels 3
With the non-waiver trade deadline looming and roster composition contingent upon productivity, fringe members of the Astros roster must take advantage of each opportunity, no matter how fleeting.
Cincinnati 1, St. Louis 0
Three times a season, one can count on the Cincinnati Reds coming into Busch Stadium and losing a series.
LA Dodgers 10, Oakland 7
Yasiel Puig broke out of an extended slump, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from a three-run deficit to defeat the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.
