Recap Roundups
August 03, 2017
Milwaukee 2, St. Louis 1
When Keon Broxton returned earlier in the week from a brief minor league assignment, some in Milwaukee wondered why the streaky and slumping Broxton was getting playing time ahead of top prospect Lewis Brinson.
Arizona 10, Chi. Cubs 8
Not that long ago, Paul Goldschmidt was grinding with his swing in an attempt to discover a rhythm at the plate.
Colorado 5, NY Mets 4
The Colorado Rockies' game-winning rally Thursday was quite strange and rather silent -- three walks, a batter hit by a pitch and a sacrifice.
Pittsburgh 6, Cincinnati 0
With their playoff hopes eroding, the Pittsburgh Pirates desperately needed someone to step up Thursday.
Detroit 7, Baltimore 5
Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus had to be reminded that he picked up his 300th win after a long game at Camden Yards that featured two rain delays and a triple play by the Baltimore Orioles.
Cleveland 5, NY Yankees 1
Corey Kluber without help is a handful. With help, Kluber can be unbeatable.
Boston 9, Chi. White Sox 5
The Red Sox bats have finally arrived.
LA Dodgers 7, Atlanta 4
Alex Wood atoned for his only loss of the season, and the Los Angeles Dodgers avoided their first series defeat since early June with a bounce-back victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Tampa Bay 5, Houston 3
The image of Rays right fielder Steven Souza Jr. limping around the bases following his sixth-inning home run served as the perfect embodiment of the collective toughness the Rays showcased in bouncing back from a rough start to this eight-game road trip.
Texas 4, Minnesota 1
Joey Gallo was looking at an 0-2 count, and he had seen a plenty of sliders from Minnesota Twins left-hander Adalberto Mejia.
Kansas City 6, Seattle 4
Lorenzo Cain was looking the opposite way with two strikes and runners on the corners in the seventh inning.
LA Angels 5, Philadelphia 4
Andrelton Simmons had a big double, scored the winning run and also came up with what should be the Los Angeles Angels' motto for the rest of 2017.
San Francisco 11, Oakland 2
Giants left-hander Ty Blach said he loved having the chance to circle the bases in the fifth inning Thursday after hitting his first major league home run in San Francisco's 11-2 win over the Oakland A's.
