Overview
- Los Angeles flipped a 3-0 deficit into a 5-3 win in Philadelphia on Teoscar Hernández’s seventh-inning three-run homer, with Shohei Ohtani striking out nine over six innings in his first postseason pitching start.
- The Dodgers’ late-innings plan held as Tyler Glasnow bridged to Alex Vesia’s bases-loaded stop and rookie Roki Sasaki earned his first career save in the ninth.
- Toronto overpowered New York 10-1 behind Alejandro Kirk’s two homers and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s first postseason blast, while the Yankees squandered a bases-loaded, no-out chance in the sixth and their bullpen unraveled late.
- Milwaukee buried Chicago 9-3 with a six-run first and three more in the second; Freddy Peralta fanned nine, and Jackson Chourio went 3-for-3 with three RBIs before exiting with hamstring tightness that leaves his Game 2 availability uncertain.
- Detroit grabbed a 1-0 ALDS lead in Seattle with Zach McKinstry’s 11th-inning RBI single after Kerry Carpenter’s two-run shot; George Kirby struck out eight in five innings and Julio Rodríguez drove in both Mariners runs.
