Plus: Key storylines for Sunday's ALDS games
Good morning! Wait till you see how this 14-pitch at-bat ended. |
|
|
| Philadelphia entered Game 1 knowing it not only had to beat Atlanta ace Spencer Strider, but also had to shut down what some have called the greatest offensive team in baseball history. |
|
|
| The comforts of home weren't so comfortable for the Astros in the regular season. None of that matters in October, when the Astros have been nearly invincible in Houston since losing all four home games of the 2019 World Series. |
|
|
| For a team led by two big-name free agents at the top of the lineup, it says a lot that a pair of homegrown rookies, Evan Carter and Josh Jung, sparked Texas in Baltimore. |
|
|
| The Dodgers, for all their resources and successes, have a long history of relying way too much on Clayton Kershaw's left arm. |
| | | While the four NL clubs rest after two big Game 1 statements, the AL returns today with a pair of pivotal matchups: Rangers-O's at 4 p.m. ET and Twins-Astros at 8, both on FS1. |
|
|
Trea Turner doesn't just steal bases, he steals momentum, too. |
|
|
Philadelphia ran wild with a postseason-franchise-record five stolen bases, the most by a team in a nine-inning game in the playoffs since the Angels in 2007. |
|
|
Alek Thomas' dinger on the 14th pitch was the longest postseason at-bat to end with a homer since pitch counts started being tracked in 1988. |
| |
| If Gunnar Henderson had gotten around the tag of Corey Seager at second base, Camden Yards might still be shaking. |
| |
|
In a full day of Division Series action on Saturday, MLB Network put on seven different game broadcasts, covering all four playoff games, for fans around the world -- from the U.S. to Europe to India. |
