Recap Roundups
August 08, 2017
Pittsburgh 6, Detroit 3
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Tuesday, making it two straight at PNC Park. The clubs will meet again Wednesday and Thursday at the Tigers' Comerica Park, but they are heading in opposite directions.
Toronto 4, NY Yankees 2
CC Sabathia gave up a pair of two-run homers to Josh Donaldson on Tuesday night, but there was a more disturbing reason the New York Yankees starter pitched only three innings.
Boston 2, Tampa Bay 0
On the same night HBO was having a premiere party for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers season of "Hard Knocks," the Tampa Bay Rays' lineup was getting knocked out by the Boston Red Sox's Chris Sale.
Cleveland 4, Colorado 1
For nine innings, Corey Kluber looked unbeatable.
San Diego 7, Cincinnati 3
The legendary double-play combination of Tinker, Evers, and Chance wasn't on the field Tuesday night for the San Diego Padres.
NY Mets 5, Texas 4
Chris Flexen tugged at the boxing robe given to the MVP of a New York Mets win, trying to lengthen it a bit so the robe -- clearly designed for someone shorter than the 6-foot-3 Flexen -- didn't rest so close to his gym shorts.
Philadelphia 5, Atlanta 2
On a team searching for starters, right-hander Zach Eflin may provide an answer for the Philadelphia Phillies. At least he did for one night.
Minnesota 11, Milwaukee 4
As the Minnesota Twins try to stay in the playoff picture, they are having to rally from behind in recent days.
Chi. White Sox 8, Houston 5
White Sox left-hander Derek Holland described the play as one of the best catches he has seen in his career.
St. Louis 10, Kansas City 3
The St. Louis Cardinals are headed in the right direction, and the Kansas City Royals are turned around in the wrong direction.
Arizona 6, LA Dodgers 3
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb once got mad when teams intentionally walked a batter to face him. He respects the choice now, and he is slowly learning to get even.
Seattle 7, Oakland 6
One swing from Leonys Martin capped an impressive comeback by the Seattle Mariners.
LA Angels 3, Baltimore 2
Parker Bridwell allowed one run in seven innings against his former team, and Andrelton Simmons and C.J. Cron had two hits each as the Los Angeles Angels snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
LA Angels 3, Baltimore 2
If Parker Bridwell felt any tension about facing his former organization, he certainly didn't show it.
San Francisco 6, Chi. Cubs 3
In a San Francisco Giants season reduced to a series of silver linings, left-hander Ty Blach has gone above and beyond.
