Tampa Bay 7, Toronto 2
The Tampa Bay Rays are off to their best start ever at 5-2, none more convincing than a 7-2 win over the struggling Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday to close out a promising opening week at Tropicana Field.
Boston 7, Detroit 5
The battered Boston Red Sox did some bruising of their own.
Pittsburgh 6, Atlanta 5
Behind by the third pitch of the game and by two runs twice, the Pittsburgh Pirates had to scramble. It's something they take almost in stride.
NY Yankees 7, Baltimore 3
New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi admitted his team sorely needed a win to cap an arduous road trip.
Philadelphia 4, Washington 3
Chasing their first home series win over division-rival Washington in nearly two years, the Philadelphia Phillies were just one out away from making it happen before the Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman made the 35,000-plus fans at Citizens Bank Park wait just a little longer.
Houston 5, Kansas City 4
Given the extent of their offensive struggles during their season-opening homestand, the Houston Astros were in need of something unexpected to break out of their collective funk and salvage the finale of their lost weekend series.
Minnesota 4, Chi. White Sox 1
A nail-bleeder punctuated a nail-biter for the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon.
Chi. Cubs 7, Milwaukee 4
When he is on top of his game, Jake Arrieta doesn't need much in terms of run support. But stake him to a four-run lead in the first inning, as his Chicago Cubs did Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers, and he is nearly impossible to beat.
Cincinnati 8, St. Louis 0
At this time last year, Adam Duvall was platooning in left field with Scott Schebler, hoping not to get the call into the manager's office and hear that he was headed down to Triple-A Louisville.
Texas 8, Oakland 1
Texas third baseman Joey Gallo is starting to find his comfort level in the major leagues, which could be a bad thing for opponents.
LA Dodgers 10, Colorado 6
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed a major issue from 2016, one that was already bubbling up in this young season, before his team brushed aside the Colorado Rockies 10-6 to avoid being swept Sunday in a three-game series.
LA Angels 10, Seattle 9
The Seattle Mariners were cruising toward their much-needed second victory of the season on Sunday afternoon. But then their bullpen imploded.
Arizona 3, Cleveland 2
Arizona could not have asked for a much better first week. The Diamondbacks have the best record in the majors, tied a franchise record for quick starts and beat two playoff teams in so doing.
San Francisco 5, San Diego 3
Being swept was in the back of the San Francisco Giants' minds going into the finale of a three-game series against the San Diego Padres on Sunday at Petco Park.
NY Mets 5, Miami 2
Like many people in the tri-state area, New York Mets players had a lengthy to-do list on a pleasant early spring Sunday.
