Recap Roundups
September 21, 2017
LA Dodgers 5, Philadelphia 4
The Dodgers were nine outs away from leaving the East Coast embarrassed and swept by a team with the third-worst record in baseball.
Cleveland 4, LA Angels 1
It does not seem to matter who they are playing, where they are playing or even who is in the lineup. The Cleveland Indians just keep winning.
Baltimore 3, Tampa Bay 1
Orioles rookie Gabriel Ynoa put together a sterling performance and made a strong case for joining Baltimore's starting rotation in 2018.
Kansas City 1, Toronto 0
Jason Vargas and pitching coach Dave Eiland made a slight adjustment three starts ago, and the Kansas City Royals left-hander has not lost since.
St. Louis 8, Cincinnati 5
After being swept by the Chicago Cubs in a three-game series at Wrigley Field over the weekend, the St. Louis Cardinals arrived in Cincinnati with their postseason hopes on the brink.
Minnesota 12, Detroit 1
Joe Mauer is just as hot as the Minnesota Twins.
Atlanta 3, Washington 2
Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey got back on track after a rough three-start stretch, and also snapped a five-game losing streak to the Washington Nationals dating to 2012.
Chi. White Sox 3, Houston 1
Once a lingering blister issue felled his starter just 20 pitches into the game, Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria began making regular trips between the visiting dugout and the mound.
Chi. Cubs 5, Milwaukee 3
Losses are always painful this time of year, but for the Milwaukee Brewers, their 5-3 defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night at Miller Park was pure agony.
Texas 4, Seattle 2
Cole Hamels admits it is hard to explain why he historically pitches well in September and October. Maybe it's the feel of the cooler air.
San Diego 3, Colorado 0
Christian Villanueva is a rookie trying to make his mark. Clayton Richard is a veteran who was on the mark Thursday.
