Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
I had tickets to today’s game at Dodger Stadium, but alas, it isn’t happening. The Dodgers closed out their NLCS against Sean Manaea and the Mets last night with a 10-5 win to secure their 22nd trip to the World Series. Former Athletics relief ace Blake Treinen has been instrumental for the Dodgers through the postseason; he got another six outs for LA last night and has thrown the last pitch of both his team’s series wins.
The Yankees punched their ticket to the World Series on Saturday with an extra innings blast from Juan Soto that secured a 5-2 win to take the ALCS four games to one over Stephen Vogt and The Guardians.
