Recap Roundups
August 30, 2016
Baltimore 5, Toronto 3
The Baltimore Orioles have relied heavily on power for their success so far this season. They used some of it again for a big win Tuesday night.
Washington 3, Philadelphia 2
Trea Turner isn't just having a rookie's month to remember. He is enjoying one of the best months ever by a Washington Nationals hitter.
Tampa Bay 4, Boston 3
Clay Buchholz knew he had to be careful with Evan Longoria, the one truly potent bat in the Tampa Bay Rays lineup.
Detroit 8, Chi. White Sox 4
JaCoby Jones gave the Detroit Tigers the jolt they were looking for on offense.
Cleveland 5, Minnesota 4
The Cleveland Indians' bullpen got a major boost with the acquisition of Andrew Miller in a trade with the Yankees a month ago, and Tuesday night Miller and his fellow relievers won and saved a game.
Atlanta 7, San Diego 3
Julio Teheran got some rare run support from his Atlanta Braves teammates and took advantage, winning his first game at home this season and first overall since June 19.
NY Mets 7, Miami 4
Just as they would have predicted back in April, the New York Mets are in playoff contention in late August thanks to their starting pitching -- but not the starting pitchers they envisioned.
Texas 8, Seattle 7
Texas might not have needed Rougned Odor's heroics had he not committed a base running gaffe that could have cost the Texas Rangers the game.
Chi. Cubs 3, Pittsburgh 0
Right-hander Kyle Hendricks had fastball command and what he called his best curveball of the season on Tuesday.
Houston 3, Oakland 1
Astros left fielder Colby Rasmus waited a long time to feel good again, to make the contributions with his bat and with his glove that made him an asset to the club before his health mysteriously began to fade in the middle of the summer.
St. Louis 2, Milwaukee 1
