A full day of MLB playoff baseball ended in Southern California, where the Los Angeles Dodgers were trying to stay alive. They did more than that.
The Dodgers beat the Padres 8-0 to cap a four-game slate on Wednesday. The Tigers beat the Guardians 3-0 early Wednesday to take a 2-1 ALDS lead. In New York, a Francisco Lindor grand slam launched the Mets past the Phillies to eliminate Philadelphia and extend the Mets' magical run to the NLCS. Then the Yankees snuck past the Royals thanks to a late home run from Giancarlo Stanton.
