Recap Roundups
April 21, 2017
Baltimore 2, Boston 0
Dylan Bundy is living up to the hype as one of the Baltimore Orioles' top pitching prospects.
Pittsburgh 6, NY Yankees 3
Coming off a series in which they scored just three runs, the Pittsburgh Pirates used the long ball to jump out to a big lead early and held on for a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees in interleague play Friday night.
Philadelphia 4, Atlanta 3
Philadelphia Phillies manager Pete Mackanin admitted he was a bit uncomfortable when the grounds crew brought the tarp out to the field in the ninth inning Friday night with a heavy rain pouring down at Citizens Bank Park.
Chi. Cubs 6, Cincinnati 5
The Chicago Cubs still are seeking an identity for this year's team, aside from being defending World Series champions. If the last three games are any indication, perhaps this club's moniker could be "Comeback Kids".
Houston 6, Tampa Bay 3
After no home runs in his first 14 games with the Houston Astros, Carlos Beltran now has hit them on back-to-back days, helping his new team to a 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night at Tropicana Field.
Washington 4, NY Mets 3
The New York Mets pulled out all the stops -- starting position players promoted Friday from Triple-A and employing starting pitchers as pinch-hitters and pinch-runners -- to try and win Friday night.
Texas 6, Kansas City 2
The Texas Rangers flexed their power muscles in a big way, getting two-homer games from Joey Gallo and Robinson Chirinos on their way to a 6-2 victory over Kansas City on Friday night.
Cleveland 3, Chi. White Sox 0
Cleveland Indians' starter Corey Kluber was in command of all his pitches and back in in Cy Young form on Friday night.
Minnesota 6, Detroit 3
Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander has historically been very good against the division-rival Minnesota Twins through the years. On Friday at Target Field, though, a patient Twins lineup got the better of Verlander.
St. Louis 6, Milwaukee 3
Adam Wainwright looked like vintage Adam Wainwright again Friday night, striking out a season-high nine batters over five innings in the St. Louis Cardinals' 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park.
Colorado 6, San Francisco 5
Trevor Story has made his few hits count this year, and never more so than Friday night.
Arizona 13, LA Dodgers 5
Arizona passed the baton so much that just about everyone had a hand in its nine-run eighth inning on Friday night.
Oakland 3, Seattle 1
The Oakland Athletics weren't known for their power last season when they hit 169 homes, fewer than all but three other American League teams.
Toronto 8, LA Angels 7
About the only thing worse than the Toronto Blue Jays' start to the 2017 season has been Jose Bautista's start to the 2017 season.
San Diego 5, Miami 3
Even when his catcher opened the season with 24 straight hitless at-bats, San Diego Padres manager Andy Green had faith in 24-year-old Austin Hedges.
