Wednesday was an offday for American League Division Series action, so we only had the National League to watch. Both NLDS games at least made for compelling TV, and even better, both guaranteed at least one more playoff game in each series.

NLDS Game 2
Atlanta Braves 3, Philadelphia Phillies 0
(series tied, 1-1)
