Day 2 of the 2024 MLB postseason is the first day of possible eliminations, thanks to the best-of-three format in the wild-card round.
The Tigers, Royals, Mets and Padres all took a huge step toward the Division Series with Game 1 wins on Tuesday, and now they're looking to get an extra day's rest ahead of the Division Series, which get started on Saturday.
The Tigers, in the first game of the day, succeeded, winning a back-and-forth Game 2 to eliminate the Astros with a sweep. The Royals followed suit with a win over the Orioles to complete a sweep.
