Recap Roundups
August 15, 2017
Houston 9, Arizona 4
For about a week, the Houston Astros hardly looked like the team that led the major leagues in virtually every production category.
Washington 3, LA Angels 1
A pair of former West Coast players made life difficult for the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.
NY Yankees 5, NY Mets 4
Sonny Gray's home debut for the New York Yankees was a stress-free night.
Tampa Bay 6, Toronto 4
The struggling Tampa Bay Rays needed that.

Don Mattingly, manager of the Miami Marlins and former New York Yankees hitting star, is one of the few people in the world who truly knows how Giancarlo Stanton feels right now.
Boston 10, St. Louis 4
Rick Porcello rode the loudest offensive support in the major leagues to a 22-4 record and a Cy Young Award last season.
Milwaukee 3, Pittsburgh 1
Keon Broxton blasted a pinch-hit home run, and Zach Davies bounced back from a rough outing his last time out to work into the seventh as the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to three games with a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday at Miller Park.
Texas 10, Detroit 4
The last time A.J. Griffin faced Justin Verlander, the Texas Rangers right-hander left early with a bruised ERA.
Cincinnati 2, Chi. Cubs 1
Billy Hamilton stepped to the plate in the ninth inning on Tuesday night having struck out in two of his three at-bats.
Cleveland 8, Minnesota 1
During their five-game winning streak that is creating separation in the American League Central, the Cleveland Indians are piecing everything together.
Atlanta 4, Colorado 3
The play seemed almost automatic, a one-hopper in the eighth inning Tuesday night to Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado, known for making jaw-dropping plays almost nightly.
Oakland 10, Kansas City 8
The Kansas City Royals appeared headed for their fourth consecutive victory Tuesday night when Drew Butera and Eric Hosmer hit two-run homers and Mike Moustakas added a solo shot to take an four-run lead with a five-run rally in the top of the eighth inning.
Seattle 3, Baltimore 1
Andrew Albers did his best James Paxton impression for the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.
San Diego 8, Philadelphia 4
Cory Spangenberg was not a happy camper when he failed to make the San Diego Padres' Opening Day roster.
