Recap Roundups
June 11, 2017
NY Yankees 14, Baltimore 3
When Aaron Judge hit it, he simply put his head down and ran the bases. He might not have been impressed with his latest homer, but there was no doubt his teammates were awestruck at his power.
Cleveland 4, Chi. White Sox 2
In a season plagued by inconsistency for the Cleveland Indians, the bullpen is the one area that has held its own. On Sunday at Progressive Field, the relievers helped anchor a much-needed win.
Tampa Bay 5, Oakland 4
So far Mallex Smith has proved to be everything the Tampa Bay Rays hoped he would be and more with his ability to get on base.
Pittsburgh 3, Miami 1
Pittsburgh Pirates veteran pitcher Ivan Nova had a talk with catcher Elias Diaz before Sunday's game. Not to give the rookie some pointers or make demands but to offer some assurance.
NY Mets 2, Atlanta 1
Steven Matz had an impressive return from the disabled list for the New York Mets on Saturday and Seth Lugo matched him Sunday against the Atlanta Braves.
LA Angels 12, Houston 6
The challenge of filling the void created by perennial MVP candidate Mike Trout succumbing to injury cannot be overstated, so credit Eric Young Jr. for making a sincere effort to help keep the Los Angeles Angels' offense productive.
LA Angels 12, Houston 6
Eric Young Jr. smacked a three-run homer to cap a six-run outburst in the fifth inning that lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 12-6 victory and a three-game series win over the Houston Astros on Sunday at Minute Maid Park.
St. Louis 6, Philadelphia 5
Where Dexter Fowler bats in the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup is not nearly as important as how he hits. He proved that again Sunday.
Chi. Cubs 7, Colorado 5
Manager Joe Maddon felt his Chicago Cubs pitched and played defense well enough to win more.
Chi. Cubs 7, Colorado 5
Addison Russell and Kyle Schwarber hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 7-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon.
San Francisco 13, Minnesota 8
The slumping San Francisco Giants tried a new look Sunday.
Texas 5, Washington 1
During part of the 2012 season, Austin Bibens-Dirkx posted a 5.59 ERA in 29 games, including two starts, for Triple-A Syracuse, the top farm team of the Washington Nationals.
LA Dodgers 9, Cincinnati 7
There were wall-to-wall heroes in the Los Angeles Dodgers' clubhouse Sunday, but manager Dave Roberts chose to focus on the collective rather than the specific.
Arizona 11, Milwaukee 1
Zack Greinke was once part of baseball's best 1-2 pitching combination with Clayton Kershaw in Los Angeles. Now another such difficult-to-defeat duo is emerging in Arizona: Greinke and Robbie Ray.
Toronto 4, Seattle 0
That was the J.A. Happ the Toronto Blue Jays expected to see this season.
Kansas City 8, San Diego 3
The Kansas City Royals continued their home run assault on the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park.
Detroit 8, Boston 3
One swing from Justin Upton made Daniel Norris' first career start at Fenway Park a memorable one.
