Recap Roundups
August 16, 2016
Chi. Cubs 4, Milwaukee 0
Trevor Cahill tossed five shutout innings and earned a win in his first major-league start since April 2015 as the Chicago Cubs posted a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Tuesday's opener of a doubleheader.
Boston 5, Baltimore 3
There's just something about playing against the Baltimore Orioles that seems to make Boston's Mookie Betters hit with power -- lots of it.
Toronto 12, NY Yankees 6
Probably the best thing to happen to the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night was watching the skies above Yankee Stadium open up.
LA Dodgers 15, Philadelphia 5
The Philadelphia Phillies' fans gave Chase Utley an ovation he will never forget Tuesday night.
Cleveland 3, Chi. White Sox 1
Baseball games frequently come down to pitching, and on Tuesday, Cleveland's was better than Chicago's.
Kansas City 6, Detroit 1
Raul Mondesi has proven over a short period that he's adept at playing small ball. The Kansas City Royals rookie changed his approach and flashed some power on Tuesday against one of the major league's premier pitchers.
Minnesota 4, Atlanta 2
Ervin Santana got a victory against his former team and in the process helped the Minnesota Twins snap a seven-game interleague losing streak against the Atlanta Braves.
Tampa Bay 15, San Diego 1
It's not often a baseball team can reset their season record for runs and nearly do the same on the mound with strikeouts, but the Rays came up with 15 runs and 15 strikeouts in an easy 15-1 win over the San Diego Padres at Tropicana Field.
Cincinnati 6, Miami 3
Tucker Barnhart always embraced his role as a defense-first catcher. This season, though, he is contributing with the bat as well.
Texas 5, Oakland 4
The Texas Rangers needed a little help on offense and the Oakland pitching staff provided it Tuesday night.
Chi. Cubs 4, Milwaukee 1
It was a painful Tuesday for the Milwaukee Brewers.
St. Louis 8, Houston 5
With red-hot left-hander Jaime Garcia suddenly struggling to locate his sinking fastball, the Cardinals needed someone to pick of the slack and offer Garcia support. Several candidates stepped forward and filled the position.
St. Louis 8, Houston 5
Tommy Pham and Jedd Gyorko slugged home runs and the St. Louis Cardinals turned a four-run sixth inning into an 8-5 interleague victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.
Colorado 6, Washington 2
DJ LeMahieu continued his offensive surge Tuesday night, Nolan Arenado exacted a small measure of revenge and David Dahl delivered a key pinch hit as the Colorado Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 6-2.
NY Mets 7, Arizona 5
Noah Syndergaard is finding his rhythm again.
NY Mets 7, Arizona 5
Noah Syndergaard threw 5 2/3 innings and added his third homer of the season to help lead the New York Mets past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 Tuesday night.
LA Angels 7, Seattle 6
Two hours before game time Tuesday night, Cliff Pennington was not in the Los Angeles Angels' starting lineup. But more than three hours after the first pitch, Pennington played the pivotal role in ending the team's longest losing streak since 1999.
Pittsburgh 4, San Francisco 3
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle would have loved to take credit for a fake intentional walk that played a pivotal role in the Pirates' win Tuesday night.
