Recap Roundups
April 07, 2017
Pittsburgh 5, Atlanta 4
Maybe the Pittsburgh Pirates were just waiting to get home, to get a chance to bang the ball around in their own ballpark. It worked.
Detroit 6, Boston 5
The bullpen Dave Dombrowski built bested the one he has.
Washington 7, Philadelphia 6
Either Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer wasn't bothered by the weather, or he just flat-out didn't care.
Colorado 2, LA Dodgers 1
The first inning not surprisingly proved to be a challenge since Colorado starter Kyle Freeland was making his major league debut Friday in his hometown and in the Rockies' home opener.
San Diego 7, San Francisco 6
Yangervis Solarte is not buying the chatter that the rebuilding San Diego Padres are sprinting toward a 100-loss season.
Baltimore 6, NY Yankees 5
The Baltimore Orioles knew Seth Smith could give them power when they acquired him from the Seattle Mariners in an offseason deal. He showed that for the first time on Friday night.
Miami 7, NY Mets 2
Between the active players on the 25-man roster and the coaching staff, the Miami Marlins had a combined 13,608 major league hits sitting in the dugout when Marlins left-handed pitcher Wei-Yin Chen stepped to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning Friday night.
Tampa Bay 10, Toronto 8
Toronto starter Francisco Liriano lasted only one out, walking four and giving up three hits, and that set the tone for an ugly night of pitching as the Tampa Bay Rays held off the Blue Jays in a 10-8 win Friday at Tropicana Field.
Texas 10, Oakland 5
It's hard to solve Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara so far this season.
Kansas City 5, Houston 1
After a game full of knocks on Friday night against Houston, Kansas City's Alex Gordon opened the door, in the process allowing the Royals inside and into the win column for the first time in 2017.
Minnesota 3, Chi. White Sox 1
Phil Hughes didn't want to be the Minnesota pitcher responsible for the Twins' first loss this year.
Milwaukee 2, Chi. Cubs 1
To beat the defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs, the Milwaukee Brewers needed a little bit of everything Friday night, and they got it.
Cincinnati 2, St. Louis 0
In a baseball sense, Amir Garrett is indeed a rookie.
Arizona 7, Cleveland 3
Arizona has made a sharp pivot this season. The Diamondbacks are winning at home and so is Shelby Miller.
LA Angels 5, Seattle 1
It had been awhile since Jesse Chavez took the mound when the infield dirt was smooth and the batter's box was still intact.
