The Seattle Mariners broke their 21 year playoff drought—the longest in baseball—for their first postseason appearance since 2001. Catcher Cal Raleigh hit a two out, two strike walk-off home run to send the Mariners into October Baseball. The Baltimore Orioles were eliminated with the Mariners win, but were playing meaningful, exciting baseball until the very end. The Colorado Rockies were blown out by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 10-1 loss that could very well be the start of a six game sweep to cap off their fourth straight losing season and one of the worst records in franchise history.
Dodgers 10, Rockies 1: Dodgers set the tone for the six game series.
