Recap Roundups
April 27, 2017
Philadelphia 3, Miami 2
Manager Pete Mackanin of the Philadelphia Phillies recalled a conversation he had last year with pitching coach Bob McClure. The subject was starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson and his use of changeups against right-handed batters.
Atlanta 7, NY Mets 5
History suggests it's too early for the New York Mets to fret over a slow start. The eye test suggests something else entirely.
Seattle 2, Detroit 1
Ben Gamel happens to be filling in for one of the hottest hitters in baseball. In his second game since being called up from the minors, Gamel delivered just like Mitch Haniger had been doing the first few weeks of the season.
St. Louis 8, Toronto 4
Matt Carpenter walloped his first career grand slam with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning Thursday as the St. Louis Cardinals wiped out a 4-0 deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-4 at Busch Stadium.
Washington 16, Colorado 5
The Washington Nationals erupted for a record 11 runs in the seventh inning Thursday and crushed the Colorado Rockies 16-5 with another stunning offensive display.
LA Dodgers 5, San Francisco 1
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Chase Utley has played baseball so long, he insists he has tagged up from third base on a foul out to the first baseman before.
Cleveland 4, Houston 3
In a dramatic conclusion to a three-game series, Francisco Lindor's two-out, two-run home run in the seventh inning lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros on Thursday night at Progressive Field.
NY Yankees 3, Boston 0
Both pitchers knew what they were up against Thursday night at Fenway Park.
St. Louis 6, Toronto 4
There was a definite carryover effect from the opener of Thursday's day-night doubleheader to the nightcap.
Arizona 6, San Diego 2
The Arizona Diamondbacks endured their worst 24 hours of the season.
LA Angels 2, Oakland 1
Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron keyed a two-run rally in the first inning, and starter Ricky Nolasco made it stand up, the Los Angeles Angels holding on for a 2-1 win over the Oakland A's on Thursday night at Angel Stadium.
