Recap Roundups
June 10, 2017
Texas 6, Washington 3
Robinson Chirinos certainly knows how to take advantage of his limited opportunities.
NY Mets 6, Atlanta 1
New York right-hander Robert Gsellman pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings and left fielder Yoenis Cespedes hit a grand slam in his return from the disabled list as the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 6-1 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader at SunTrust Park.
Tampa Bay 6, Oakland 5
Evan Longoria's RBI single off Liam Hendriks in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Tampa Bay Rays to a 6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday at Tropicana Field.
St. Louis 7, Philadelphia 0
There was a school of thought that St. Louis Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez wasn't capable of crafting a successful outing if he didn't have Yadier Molina to call his pitches.
St. Louis 7, Philadelphia 0
Carlos Martinez tossed his first shutout Saturday, four-hitting the Philadelphia Phillies and leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-0 win at Busch Stadium.
Colorado 9, Chi. Cubs 1
Colorado Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds has focused on becoming more of a well-rounded hitter instead of an all-or-nothing slugger who hits home runs or strikes out.
Pittsburgh 7, Miami 6
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a flair for the dramatic whether they win or lose.
Minnesota 3, San Francisco 2
For someone who had played just four previous games in his career at AT&T Park, Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier sure demonstrated a knowledge of the 18-year-old ballpark Saturday afternoon.
Houston 3, LA Angels 1
Mike Fiers carried a shutout into the eighth inning and the Houston Astros scrapped across just enough offense to claim a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday at Minute Maid Park.
Kansas City 12, San Diego 6
The bases were loaded for Lorenzo Cain in the eighth inning. Trying not to do too much, he found a flair for the dramatic in the Kansas City Royals' 12-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday afternoon.
Oakland 7, Tampa Bay 2
With the Oakland Athletics desperate for a win, Sean Manaea once against proved to be the guy they could count on.
NY Mets 8, Atlanta 1
The New York Mets showed what they can do when they have a healthy Steven Matz.
NY Yankees 16, Baltimore 3
Told he hit a home run 121.1 mph off the bat, Aaron Judge's response was: "Really? I got nothing."
Chi. White Sox 5, Cleveland 3
Eight years, two trades, three organizations and one release later, left-hander David Holmberg has come full circle.
Boston 11, Detroit 3
On a night when neither Boston's Chris Sale nor Detroit's Justin Verlander had dominant stuff, the Red Sox and Tigers spent most of the night trading leads after timely hits.
LA Dodgers 5, Cincinnati 4
Corey Seager has played baseball since 1997 but never produced a walk-off hit until Saturday night.
Arizona 3, Milwaukee 2
Pulling out hair-raising, come-from-behind wins is nothing new for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Toronto 4, Seattle 2
Safeco Field truly has become the Toronto Blue Jays' home away from home.
