Elephant Rumblings: Clarke scores game winner in AFL opener

Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!

The divisional round of the MLB playoffs is proving to be harder fought than the Wild Card series were. Both ALCS are tied at a game apiece, but the Wild Card winners have opened up 2-1 leads against the top seeds in both NLCS.

The Mets became the first team poised to clinch a Championship Series berth behind a gem from Sean Manaea yesterday with a 7-2 win over the Phillies. It’s been a wild ride lately for the Mets, who clinched a Wild Card spot on the last day of the regular season and have made some spectacular comebacks en route to their present opportunity to win a divisional series in New York.
