Recap Roundups
July 06, 2017
Detroit 6, San Francisco 2
A few significant firsts prevented the Detroit Tigers from falling into last place.
St. Louis 4, Miami 3
Two months into the season, St. Louis Cardinal fans were grumbling, with some justification, that left-handed reliever Brett Cecil wasn't paying enough dividends on the $30 million, four-year deal the team awarded him in the offseason.
Milwaukee 11, Chi. Cubs 2
The Milwaukee Brewers jumped on the Chicago Cubs early and rolled to an 11-2 victory in a game some felt should not have been played on a hot Thursday afternoon.
Cincinnati 6, Colorado 3
Nearly three months ago, Sal Romano made his major league debut for the Cincinnati Reds. It was a harsh learning experience but one from which he profited.
Pittsburgh 6, Philadelphia 3
Josh Bell's batting average isn't very impressive.
Atlanta 5, Washington 2
The first-place Washington Nationals lost a baseball game that began late Thursday night and ended early Friday morning.
Toronto 7, Houston 4
The battery of left-hander Francisco Liriano and catcher Russell Martin acted as spark plugs for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Houston Astros on Thursday night.
Tampa Bay 4, Boston 1
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos had never faced Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale before Thursday night, but his pregame video scouting paid off in a big way. Ramos had an RBI double and a two-run home run, powering Tampa Bay to a surprising 4-1 win over Sale and the Red Sox at Tropicana Field.
Cleveland 11, San Diego 2
The Cleveland Indians' sluggish offense finally stirred to life Thursday night at Progressive Field.
Minnesota 6, Baltimore 4
One big inning was all the Minnesota Twins needed to continue their strong play at home and extend the Baltimore Orioles' slide.
LA Dodgers 5, Arizona 4
The team with the best record in the National League understandably maintains its confidence even in dire moments.
Oakland 7, Seattle 4
Somehow, Paul Blackburn was more nervous about his second major league start than his first.
