Recap Roundups
May 26, 2017
NY Mets 8, Pittsburgh 1
New York Mets second baseman Neil Walker got his round of hugs on the field well before Friday night's game -- from his former manager, Clint Hurdle, and former teammates.
Oakland 4, NY Yankees 1
For most of Friday night, the Oakland Athletics were flailing and missing at Masahiro Tanaka's sliders and split-fingered fastballs.
Washington 5, San Diego 1
Max Scherzer was determined to make some changes after his previous start, when he lasted just five innings and threw 106 pitches in a loss to the Atlanta Braves. He said he was "lost out there without fastball command."
Cincinnati 5, Philadelphia 2
Tim Adleman wanted to go the distance in what was already the best start of his major league career. But he understood why he came out of the game.
Toronto 7, Texas 6
The Devon Travis Show played well on the road for the past week. And Friday night, it was an instant hit at home.
Toronto 7, Texas 6
Devon Travis hit a grand slam, Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales hit solo home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Texas Rangers 7-6 on Friday night.
Kansas City 6, Cleveland 4
It was not the sort of comeback to be expected from the lowest scoring team in the American League, but the Kansas City Royals have suddenly made it their specialty.
Miami 8, LA Angels 5
Giancarlo Stanton may be the most expensive -- and perhaps most dangerous -- two-hole hitter in baseball.
Boston 3, Seattle 0
John Farrell doesn't see any great mystery behind the sudden success of young left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
Boston 3, Seattle 0
Eduardo Rodriguez turned in his seventh straight quality start and the Boston Red Sox notched their fifth straight win with a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
Houston 2, Baltimore 0
While ascending through the minors, Houston Astros right-hander Joe Musgrove cultivated a reputation for pitching with energy and efficiency, qualities that have occasionally escaped him during his time in the big leagues.
Chi. White Sox 8, Detroit 2
A forecast for rain prompted the Chicago White Sox to postpone the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the visiting Detroit Tigers.
Chi. White Sox 8, Detroit 2
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu has known for years that Avisail Garcia is a gifted hitter.
Arizona 4, Milwaukee 2
When things are going well, as they have been for the Arizona Diamondbacks lately, the unlikely suddenly becomes likely.
Tampa Bay 5, Minnesota 2
Chris Archer stood in front of his locker speaking softly to reporters after another dazzling outing for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Colorado 10, St. Louis 0
Coming off consecutive five-inning outings, Colorado Rockies rookie Antonio Senzatela responded with the best start of his young career Friday night.
LA Dodgers 4, Chi. Cubs 0
Beating Alex Wood at Dodger Stadium has become a long-shot proposition. The Chicago Cubs found out firsthand.
Atlanta 2, San Francisco 0
Atlanta Braves left-hander Jaime Garcia is the first to admit he's not a very good hitter.
