Recap Roundups
June 17, 2017
Chi. White Sox 5, Toronto 2
The Chicago White Sox have found a home away from home.
Cleveland 9, Minnesota 3
Jose Ramirez homered from both sides of the plate as the Cleveland Indians pulled into a tie with the Minnesota Twins with an 9-3 victory in the first game of Saturday's split doubleheader between the two teams.
Colorado 5, San Francisco 1
A barrage of singles and some very timely hitting Saturday helped the Colorado Rockies continue their dominance over the San Francisco Giants with a 5-1 victory.
Arizona 5, Philadelphia 1
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo didn't bite when given the chance to get into a war of words with fellow National League West rival manager Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Oakland 5, NY Yankees 2
You couldn't blame Ryon Healy if he wishes June would never end.
Baltimore 15, St. Louis 7
Rather than dampening Jonathan Schoop's confidence, a costly error early in the game seemed to energize the Baltimore Orioles second baseman.
LA Dodgers 10, Cincinnati 2
It didn't take long after Saturday's game for Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to find the word that best described his team's offense:
Atlanta 8, Miami 7
The Atlanta Braves rallied from four down against the Miami Marlins to force extra innings with a tying run in the ninth, then celebrated their fourth walk-off victory of the season in the 10th as Brandon Phillips played hero.
Washington 7, NY Mets 4
If the Washington Nationals end up cruising to the National League East title while leaving the New York Mets flailing for a lifeline in the wild-card derby, both teams may look back on Friday and Saturday's victories by the Nationals as symbols of a division race that never fully developed.
San Diego 7, Milwaukee 5
For the second straight game, the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers took turns rocketing baseballs out of Miller Park.
Tampa Bay 3, Detroit 2
Baseball is a sport where you play the percentages because in a 162-game season it pays off.
Texas 10, Seattle 4
The Texas Rangers finally have the offensive lineup they thought they'd have when the season started -- and it's paying dividends.
Cleveland 6, Minnesota 2
Lonnie Chisenhall and the Cleveland Indians knew they were in for a long day in Minnesota on Saturday with a split doubleheader.
Houston 7, Boston 1
In addition to lauding the performance of his rookie right-hander David Paulino on Saturday night, Astros manager A.J. Hinch made clear his satisfaction with how Paulino emotionally approached his fifth career start.
Pittsburgh 4, Chi. Cubs 3
Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen looks like himself again.
LA Angels 9, Kansas City 0
Like actors who find favorite characters, Cameron Maybin and Alex Meyer have slipped into very comfortable roles for the Los Angeles Angels.
