Recap Roundups
August 04, 2016
Cleveland 9, Minnesota 2
In the first inning Thursday the Cleveland Indians had something they had only once in the previous three games and 27 innings: the lead.
Tampa Bay 3, Kansas City 2
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Brad Miller will likely make a transition to first base in the next few days after recently acquired infielder Matt Duffy returns from a rehab assignment.
Cincinnati 7, St. Louis 0
Walks have been a problem at times this season for Cincinnati Reds left-hander Brandon Finnegan, an issue magnified while pitching in homer-haven Great American Ball Park. On Thursday afternoon, Finnegan wasn't handing out freebies.
San Francisco 3, Philadelphia 2
Denard Span wasn't shy about putting a must-win label on an early August game.
Chi. White Sox 6, Detroit 3
Jose Quintana got some early run support and Jose Abreu broke his homerless drought.
Texas 5, Baltimore 3
The Rangers got a little help from a lot of places Thursday night, as nine players posted hits and five pitchers combined to help Texas snap a two-game losing streak.
Oakland 8, LA Angels 6
The Oakland Athletics really haven't been a part of the American League West race since April, as they have resided at or near the bottom of the standings for most of the season.
NY Mets 4, NY Yankees 1
Hours after he teed off on reporters wanting to know if Yoenis Cespedes' trips to the golf course resulted in an injury, New York Mets manager Terry Collins watched his newest bat drive a ball nearly 400 feet.
Atlanta 5, Pittsburgh 2
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker is willing to go along with some unorthodox base-running decisions if it means a win. All he could do was chuckle about the risky choice made by Adonis Garcia, which led to the deciding runs.
Toronto 4, Houston 1
Having watched rotation mates Marcus Stroman, R.A. Dickey and Marco Estrada dominate the Houston Astros with pinpoint control, Toronto Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ merely fell in line Thursday night.
LA Dodgers 4, Colorado 2
After getting seven combined innings from their starters while losing the first two games of this series, the Los Angeles Dodgers badly needed a strong outing Thursday night from Kenta Maeda.
