Overview
- The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the National League Championship Series with a 4-1 Game 4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, powered by Andy Pages’ two-run go-ahead single in the seventh, a Max Muncy ninth-inning homer, and four shutout reliever innings that included a save from Edwin Díaz.
- Milwaukee defeated San Diego to win the other NLDS and will host Games 1–2 of the NLCS on October 11–12, giving the Brewers home-field advantage after a 103-win regular season.
- The Tampa Bay Rays completed a 3-0 sweep of the New York Yankees when umpires overturned what had been ruled a Yankees go-ahead homer for fan interference on review, a call that left the game 4-3 and sent the Rays to the American League Championship Series.
- The Cleveland Guardians kept their ALDS alive with a 9-3 Game 3 victory over the Chicago White Sox, cutting the series to 2-1 and forcing at least one more game in Chicago on Thursday.
- With the NLCS starting Sunday and the ALCS field set, the postseason now features a Dodgers-Brewers rematch, a Rays team buoyed by replay-decided moments, and a Guardians-White Sox series that remains unresolved as teams chase the pennants and World Series berths.
