MLB Wild Card Series Day 2 takeaways: Guardians, Mariners and Phillies advance; Mets force a Game 3

MLB's first-ever wild-card series weekend is in full swing. And three teams were sent packing Saturday.

The playoff field expanded to 12 teams for the 2022 postseason, so four best-of-three series determine which teams move on to the division series.

The Saturday festivities began with the Cleveland Guardians beating the Tampa Bay Rays with a walk-off homer in the 15th inning to advance to the division series, followed by the Seattle Mariners overcoming a seven-run deficit to send the Toronto Blue Jays packing with a 10-9 win.
