Jason Heyward, Mookie Betts, and Miguel Rojas each had their share of excellent plays on defense-Rojas made his while being interviewed by ESPN’s broadcasters early in the game. Tristan Beck followed with 4.1 innings of relief and gave up four hits, including the homer to Outman. Ryan Walker opened the game for the Giants. He gave up a total of five hits and walked three. Lance Lynn had a strong start for the Dodgers, making it through six innings and logging six strikeouts despite throwing nearly 40 pitches in the first inning. The Giants struck in the fifth inning: Tyler Fitzgerald reached on a fly ball to Outman, who couldn’t quite run in far enough to make the catch, and LaMonte Wade Jr. Martinez on the first pitch he saw in the second inning. He struck out six batters on 84 pitches before being lifted for pinch-hitter Joc Pederson.The runs were hard to come by in the Dodgers’ 3-2 win against the Giants on Sunday, but Chris Taylor changed all that in the 10th with a walk-off hit to right.Įach team scored their first two runs on homers, with James Outman batting in J.D. Starter Ian Anderson chucked five shutout innings, holding the Brewers to three hits and no walks. The Braves received another strong outing from their pitching staff, as had been the case in each of the first two games of the series. The Braves now hold a 2-1 advantage, meaning another win will send them to the NL Championship Series, where they'd await either the San Francisco Giants or the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Atlanta Braves defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 on Monday in Game 3 of their best-of-five National League Division Series. Here's more on the Red Sox eliminating the Rays. They now await either the Astros or White Sox in the ALCS. The Red Sox offense battered the Rays - who had the best ERA in the AL in the regular season - for 26 runs on 47 hits in the final three games of the series, all Red Sox wins. In the bottom of the ninth, perhaps fittingly, the red-hot Enrique Hernández delivered the game-winning sac fly, giving Boston a 6-5 win and the club's second walk-off victory in a row. Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock would come in to get some major outs to move things to the bottom of the ninth, still tied at five. In the eighth, two doubles before a Randy Arozarena single meant the game was tied. A two-run Wander Franco homer made it 5-3 in the sixth. It looked pretty elementary, but the Rays' bullpen after the third held steady and the Tampa offense chipped away. The Red Sox had a 5-0 lead through the third inning while starter Eduardo Rodriguez threw zeroes on the board through five innings. The Red Sox closed things down in front of the Fenway faithful Monday night. Brandon Crawford made a spectacular leaping catch to escape a jam in the seventh.Īfter winning Game 1 in rather convincing fashion, the Tampa Bay Rays are the first team eliminated from the divisional round. Tyler Rogers, Jake McGee, and rookie Camilo Doval combined for 4 1/3 shutout innings to protect the lead and lock down the win. The Giants countered with former Dodger Alex Wood, who battled through 4 2/3 innings before handing things over for the bullpen. He is the first pitcher in baseball history with a double-digit strikeout game in the postseason for three different franchises (Tigers, Nationals, Dodgers). Max Scherzer was incredible coming off three subpar starts, holding San Francisco to just the Longoria solo homer and striking out 10 in seven innings. They hung on for a 1-0 win in Game 3 at windy Dodger Stadium on Monday. Thanks to Evan Longoria's solo home run and clutch bullpen work, the Giants are one win away from their first trip to the NLCS since winning the World Series in 2014.
