Recap Roundups
August 13, 2017
San Francisco 4, Washington 2
Joe Panik was 3-for-4 with a walk and drove in two runs and Chris Stratton got his first major league win as a starter as the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Sunday.
Toronto 7, Pittsburgh 1
As far as John Gibbons is concerned, the Toronto Blue Jays' 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon was just another step in the long climb to reach the .500 mark and make a possible, though improbable, late run at a postseason spot.
Cleveland 4, Tampa Bay 3
The Tampa Bay Rays' dreadful homestand is over, with one more tough loss Sunday as Cleveland's Austin Jackson hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to give the Indians a 4-3 win at Tropicana Field.
Miami 5, Colorado 3
It was a lost weekend for the seemingly playoff-bound Colorado Rockies, and Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton was a big reason why.
Minnesota 6, Detroit 4
The Minnesota Twins may not be in front of the Cleveland Indians, their next opponent, but they are some six weeks ahead of last year.
NY Mets 6, Philadelphia 2
Phillies manager Pete Mackanin has a pretty simple motto when it comes to the curveball.
Milwaukee 7, Cincinnati 4
Neil Walker expects to sleep soundly Sunday night.
Kansas City 14, Chi. White Sox 6
In the thick of the American League wild-card race, manager Ned Yost and the Kansas City Royals got what they wanted Sunday afternoon.
Atlanta 6, St. Louis 3
The St. Louis Cardinals entered Sunday with an eight-game winning streak thanks to an offense that scored 68 runs.
Houston 2, Texas 1
Finally, the Houston Astros got the Dallas Keuchel they were missing for his past three starts.
Oakland 9, Baltimore 3
Right-hander Kendall Graveman got back on track and the Oakland Athletics' three Matts -- Chapman, Joyce and Olson -- each went deep Sunday afternoon in a 9-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Oakland Coliseum.
LA Angels 4, Seattle 2
The Los Angeles Angels' acquisition of Parker Bridwell keeps looking smarter.
LA Dodgers 6, San Diego 4
Justin Turner watched a lot of his long fly balls get caught on the warning track in recent games, so the Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman took advantage of the prime conditions on Sunday afternoon and hit two over the fence in a 6-4 win against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium.
Chi. Cubs 7, Arizona 2
Javier Baez broke up the game on a breaking ball Sunday.
Washington 6, San Francisco 2
Howie Kendrick wasn't making every statement a declarative one late Sunday night.
Boston 3, NY Yankees 2
Chris Sale and Aroldis Chapman brought the heat with their left arms.
