reformatting print string to specific format

Question

I am currently trying to reformat the strings below to fit the following format (date,number,number,number,number,number).

03262019,3 10 19 30 38 03252019,7 17 23 24 31 03242019,3 7 12 23 32 03232019,6 9 14 19 28 03222019,5 11 12 13 25

into:

03262019,3,10,19,30,38 03252019,7,17,23,24,31 03242019,3,7,12,23,32 03232019,6,9,14,19,28 03222019,5,11,12,13,25

Code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from datetime import datetime

response = requests.get('https://www.lotterycorner.com/mi/fantasy-5/2019')
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
date = soup.find_all("td", {"class":"win-nbr-date col-sm-3 col-xs-4"})
results = soup.find_all("ul",{"class":"nbr-grp"})
for date, results in zip(date, results):
    date2 = (date.get_text())
    date = (datetime.strptime(date2, '%b %d, %Y'))
    Fantasy52019 = (date.strftime("%m%d%Y")+(',')+results.get_text().strip())
    print(Fantasy52019)

and these strings:

03262019,4 14224358 Mega Ball 9 Megaplier 3 X 03222019,7 36586062 Mega Ball 10Megaplier 3 X 03192019,10 42536768 Mega Ball 15Megaplier 3 X 03152019,3 29566264 Mega Ball 4 Megaplier 3 X 03122019,10 12164957 Mega Ball 18Megaplier 4 X 03082019,4 9 426268 Mega Ball 7 Megaplier 4 X 03052019,15 20323752 Mega Ball 6 Megaplier 5 X

into:

03262019,4,14,22,43,58,9 03222019,7,36,58,60,62,10 03192019,10,42,53,67,68,15 03152019,3,29,56,62,64,4 03122019,10,12,16,49,57,18 03082019,4,9,42,62,68,7 03052019,15,20,32,37,52,6
