Recap Roundups
September 30, 2017
Boston 6, Houston 3
American League East championships are not exactly new for the Boston Red Sox.
NY Yankees 2, Toronto 1
Aaron Judge hit a fastball into the wind and sent it soaring over the left field bleachers, and when it landed he had surpassed a Hall of Famer's record.
San Diego 3, San Francisco 2
Matt Cain endured more than his fair share of ups and downs during his decorated San Francisco Giants career.
Chi. Cubs 9, Cincinnati 0
Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run home run, added a two-run single and even danced in the dugout along to the song "YMCA."
St. Louis 7, Milwaukee 6
The Milwaukee Brewers were one of baseball's best stories this year, spending 65 days in first place and assuring themselves of finishing second place in the National League Central.
Tampa Bay 4, Baltimore 3
Brad Miller hit a three-run homer and Chris Archer threw five shutout innings, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night at Tropicana Field.
Pittsburgh 4, Washington 1
Jameson Taillon of the Pittsburgh Pirates went into Saturday night's game with the challenge of trying to outpitch reigning Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer.
NY Mets 7, Philadelphia 4
Asdrubal Cabrera hit the New York Mets' 224th home run of the season to extend a franchise record in the top of the 11th inning and that lifted the Mets over the Philadelphia Phillies 7-4 in the penultimate game of the 2017 season.
Miami 10, Atlanta 2
Giancarlo Stanton didn't get to 60, but Miami Marlins teammate Dee Gordon did.
Detroit 3, Minnesota 2

Chi. White Sox 2, Cleveland 1
The Cleveland Indians on Saturday lost a game but got a pretty good consolation prize: they won the homefield advantage for the American League portion of the postseason.
Kansas City 4, Arizona 3
With several significant Kansas City Royals about to hit the free agent market, they will need young players to come through for them next year.
Texas 8, Oakland 4
With only two home runs since Sept. 1, Joey Gallo was a little concerned a quality first full season in the majors might be tainted slightly with a slip over the last month.
LA Dodgers 5, Colorado 3
Their celebration began in the clubhouse before the Colorado Rockies took the field Saturday night and lost 5-3 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Seattle 6, LA Angels 4
The roles were practically reversed from the night before.
Seattle 6, LA Angels 4
