Recap Roundups
September 09, 2016
NY Yankees 7, Tampa Bay 5
On Wednesday, Dellin Betances wobbled significantly in the ninth inning, loading the bases and turning a three-run lead into a one-run lead.
Cincinnati 4, Pittsburgh 3
The Pittsburgh Pirates would take any help right about now.
Washington 5, Philadelphia 4
Trea Turner smashed a solo homer to center with two outs in the ninth off Frank Hermann as the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Friday.
Washington 5, Philadelphia 4
Trea Turner smashed a solo homer to center with two outs in the ninth off Frank Hermann as the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Friday.
Boston 13, Toronto 3
Rick Porcello became the first major league pitcher to reach 20 wins this season on Friday night.
Detroit 4, Baltimore 3
Victor Martinez tends to make his home runs count. The latest from the Detroit Tigers' veteran designated hitter might have been his biggest of the season.
Miami 4, LA Dodgers 1
It must be pretty special to be disappointed with a 14-strikeout pitching performance, but that's where Jose Fernandez finds himself, especially when he is at Marlins Park, where he is nearly unbeatable.
NY Mets 6, Atlanta 4
The New York Mets finally broke through against Julio Teheran, then went to work against the Atlanta Braves bullpen for another comeback win.
Chi. White Sox 7, Kansas City 2
Once Carlos Rodon discovered his slider would be effective for the long run on Friday night, the Chicago White Sox left-hander didn't go away from it.
Cleveland 5, Minnesota 4
Mike Napoli's mammoth home run to lead off the fifth inning capped off an early see-saw battle and proved to be the difference in the Indians 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night at Target Field.
Cleveland 5, Minnesota 4
When the ball left his bat, all Mike Napoli did is put his head down and circle the bases -- because no one had to tell him where it landed.
Chi. Cubs 2, Houston 0
Jon Lester continued his exceptional second-half pitching while Kris Bryant supplied the offense in the Chicago Cubs' 2-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.
Chi. Cubs 2, Houston 0
Even before Cubs left-hander Jon Lester recorded the biggest and final out of his evening, the Houston Astros had their chances. That none of them failed to materialize into anything substantial spoke more to Lester than the Astros' failings.
St. Louis 4, Milwaukee 3
Carlos Martinez was far from dominant Friday night, but he gave the St. Louis Cardinals what they needed the most: a victory.
San Francisco 7, Arizona 6
When San Francisco right-hander Cody Gearrin jogged out to left field with one out in the 12th inning, his teammates had a simple question.
Texas 2, LA Angels 1
Only two players in major league history -- George Brett and Carl Yastrzemski -- have hit more doubles against the Los Angeles-California-Anaheim Angels than Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre.
Seattle 3, Oakland 2
Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma got back on track, and the Seattle Mariners gained more ground in the American League wild-card playoff race on Friday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
Colorado 4, San Diego 1
Tyler Chatwood has always liked pitching on the road and Petco Park.
