Recap Roundups
September 01, 2017
Cleveland 3, Detroit 2
Francisco Lindor poked a single up the middle through a drawn-in infield to score Jay Bruce from third base with one out in the ninth inning Friday and give the Cleveland Indians their eighth win in a row, a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers in the first game of a split doubleheader.
Chi. Cubs 2, Atlanta 0
Joe Maddon knows if the Chicago Cubs are going to make a push for another World Series championship, they are going to have to find a way to pull out some tight victories.
Boston 4, NY Yankees 1
Doug Fister's season began late and it required a change of location to really get going.
Cincinnati 7, Pittsburgh 3
Even after a win, the Cincinnati Reds had one regret.
Baltimore 1, Toronto 0
Jonathan Schoop saved the game for Baltimore with a ninth-inning defensive play. He then won it for the Orioles with his bat four innings later.
Philadelphia 2, Miami 1
The Miami Marlins couldn't beat one of the best teams in the majors earlier this week, getting swept by the Washington Nationals.
Cleveland 10, Detroit 0
The Cleveland Indians won two ways Friday -- a close one and a blowout.
Texas 10, LA Angels 9
It took longer than any other nine-inning game in Texas Rangers' history, but no one was complaining after Friday night's 10-9 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Kansas City 7, Minnesota 6
Pulling out a one-run victory in the series opener in Minnesota had the Kansas City Royals feeling good despite the game being closer than hoped when closer Kelvin Herrera entered in the ninth inning with a three-run lead.
Milwaukee 1, Washington 0
Save for a first inning home run by Neil Walker, Tanner Roark was at the top of his game Friday night at Miller Park but Jimmy Nelson was just a little bit better.
Tampa Bay 3, Chi. White Sox 1
The Tampa Bay Rays know where they stand in the playoff race. Now they have work to do in the final month of the regular season.
Arizona 9, Colorado 5
Traveling to the Mile-High City did nothing to cool off the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Seattle 3, Oakland 2
It took a few batters for right-hander Mike Leake to get settled in when he made his Seattle Mariners debut. After that, he looked like a pitcher who could keep the Mariners in a playoff chase for a while.
LA Dodgers 1, San Diego 0
Bad news for the rest of the National League and maybe the junior circuit as well: Clayton Kershaw is back.
St. Louis 11, San Francisco 6
On the hottest night in the history of bayside AT&T Park, the St. Louis Cardinals admitted they felt right at home.
