After the first two rounds of this expanded postseason saw a lot of relatively short series, we were treated to a pair of LCS’s that each went the distance. On the American League side, the Rays took an early lead and never relented. The National League side was more back and forth, with the Braves striking early. The Dodgers went with an opener in Dustin May to start this game, and he did so with eight straight balls followed by a to put the first three men on. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Atlanta had a chance to open up a relatively big, early lead.
