Overview
- The Phillies fell 2-1 to the Dodgers in 11 innings on a bases-loaded misplay and high throw home by reliever Orion Kerkering over J.T. Realmuto, ending their NLDS and season.
- Kerkering acknowledged the mistake in postgame comments, saying he opted for what he thought was a faster throw home and called it a “horseshit throw.”
- The Eagles lost 34-17 at the Giants, failed to score after halftime, and played short-handed without Jalen Carter before also losing Quinyon Mitchell, as rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo led New York.
- The Flyers opened 0-1 with a 2-1 loss to the Panthers, were out-shot 34-20, and surrendered the go-ahead goal to Brad Marchand early in the third period.
- It was the first time the Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers all lost on the same day since Oct. 16, 1983, prompting a wave of fan frustration and leaving the Phillies to confront offseason questions.
