Recap Roundups
June 21, 2017
Tampa Bay 8, Cincinnati 3
Erasmo Ramirez had given up at least six hits in his previous four starts, so a dominating outing like Wednesday's, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to an 8-3 win at Tropicana Field, was just what he needed.
Miami 2, Washington 1
Max Scherzer was nearly unhittable.
Kansas City 6, Boston 4
Salvador Perez had never hit a grand slam in the majors, but he had a premonition and an answered prayer in the eighth inning.
San Diego 3, Chi. Cubs 2
A rookie catcher and the San Diego Padres bullpen combined to save the day when a forearm strain forced an abrupt end to the start of right-hander Miguel Diaz on Wednesday.
Cleveland 5, Baltimore 1
Cleveland came up with timely hitting and solid pitching from start to finish, and that combination helped the Indians to a second win in three nights over the Baltimore Orioles.
NY Yankees 8, LA Angels 4
In April, the at-bats were occurring often for Austin Romine as Gary Sanchez recovered from a biceps injury.
St. Louis 7, Philadelphia 6
During a season to forget for the Philadelphia Phillies, their Wednesday loss to the St. Louis Cardinals was another they certainly won't want to remember.
Atlanta 5, San Francisco 3
The Atlanta Braves pulled off their third walk-off victory in the past five games, and this time Matt Kemp was the hero.
Toronto 7, Texas 5
The Toronto Blue Jays didn't have many scoring chances after the first few innings Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers.
Milwaukee 4, Pittsburgh 3
Prior to his team's game Wednesday night at Miller Park, Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle spoke glowingly about the Pirates' recent success with runners in scoring position.
Arizona 16, Colorado 5
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo gave his team the day off from batting practice Wednesday, hoping it would keep the players fresh for first pitch.
Houston 5, Oakland 1
This is how dominant right-hander MIke Fiers has been for the Houston Astros over his past five starts: Fiers struggled with his command Wednesday night but was still sharp enough to hold the Oakland Athletics to one run on three hits over six-plus innings.
Seattle 7, Detroit 5
For five innings Wednesday night, Justin Verlander was perfect.
LA Dodgers 8, NY Mets 2
The New York Mets did not need a reminder that they are struggling. The Los Angeles Dodgers' Yasiel Puig gave them one anyway, and they didn't take kindly to it.
