Recap Roundups
September 24, 2017
Minnesota 10, Detroit 4
Manager Paul Molitor says the Minnesota Twins are not done yet
Toronto 9, NY Yankees 5
Right fielder Jose Bautista might have played his last home game with the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.
Boston 5, Cincinnati 4
Outfielder Mookie Betts removed the ice and bandage from his right foot to talk to reporters about the latest Boston Red Sox rally, one that has them going back to Fenway Park that much closer to an American League East title.
Washington 3, NY Mets 2
The Washington Nationals have officially been in playoff preparation mode for two weeks. On Sunday afternoon, they staged a dress rehearsal for October.
Philadelphia 2, Atlanta 0
Rookie Nick Pivetta said he isn't worried about whether he'll be in the Philadelphia Phillies' starting rotation next season.
Pittsburgh 4, St. Louis 1
With his club nearly out of contention in the National League Central but still locked in a three-way wild-card race, St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny on Sunday handed the ball to a rookie right-hander making his first start of 2017.
Baltimore 9, Tampa Bay 4
The Baltimore Orioles were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, so they made sure that Sunday would feature a proper thank you to a long-time teammate who might be leaving.
Chi. White Sox 8, Kansas City 1
Even though the rebuilding Chicago White Sox will miss the playoffs and narrowly avoid 100 losses this season, they've had plenty of individual highlights.
Chi. Cubs 5, Milwaukee 0
For three straight days, the Chicago Cubs battled the Milwaukee Brewers into extra innings, scrapping out two late victories.
Oakland 8, Texas 1
The Texas Rangers arrived at the Oakland Coliseum on Friday in the thick of the American League wild-card race, just 2 1/2 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the second spot.
Cleveland 4, Seattle 2
In the mind of Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona, right-hander Corey Kluber isn't on any kind of hot streak -- he is just that good. And because of that, the Seattle Mariners' last chance to sneak into the playoffs evaporated.
Arizona 3, Miami 2
Outfielder J.D. Martinez has been a key cog in Arizona's success since arriving July 18, so perhaps it was fitting that his walk-off single on Sunday guaranteed the Diamondbacks a home wild-card game.
LA Dodgers 3, San Francisco 1
Clayton Kershaw has faced the San Francisco Giants enough times in his career to know that it pays to try something different.
Colorado 8, San Diego 4
Just when it seemed the Colorado Rockies could take a deep breath, Nolan Arenado comes up with a bruised right hand that puts him in the day-to-day category entering the crucial final week of the season.
LA Angels 7, Houston 5
The Los Angeles Angels aren't ready for a concession speech.
