LAD 4, ATL 1 (NLDS Game 4) | MIL 3, SD 1 (NLDS Game 4) — Both series decided Wednesday in dramatic fashion!
What a night for National League baseball! The Los Angeles Dodgers — who crushed it with 100 wins in the regular season — shut down the Atlanta Braves 4–1 in Game 4 of the NLDS to close out the series. Max Muncy was the big hero at the plate, going 1-for-4 with a massive home run, driving in a run and scoring one himself. The Dodgers' pitching staff held Atlanta's powerful lineup to just one run all night. L.A. is ON FIRE and heading to the NLCS!
Meanwhile out west, the Milwaukee Brewers — the BEST team in the NL with an incredible 103-59 regular season record — took care of business against the San Diego Padres 3–1 in their Game 4 showdown. Garrett Mitchell was a menace, going 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, and a run scored. The Padres, who won 91 games, put up a fight, but the Brewers had too much firepower. Now Dodgers vs. Brewers in the NLCS? That sounds EPIC, Jacob!
Wednesday was also huge in the American League, where the Tampa Bay Rays stunned the New York Yankees 4–3 in ALDS Game 3 to take a series lead. Ryan Vilade smacked a go-ahead homer — going 1-for-2 with the big blast, an RBI, and a run scored. Yankees fans were NOT happy. And in the other ALDS, the Cleveland Guardians blew out the Chicago White Sox 9–3 in Game 3, with José Ramírez putting on an absolute SHOW: 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk, AND a stolen base. That's a stat line for the ages!
Four playoff games were played Wednesday, covering both ALDS and NLDS action. The Guardians and Dodgers are looking strong, while the Rays are now in the driver's seat against New York. Check the full scores below!
The NBA preseason kept on rolling Wednesday with five games! The Milwaukee Bucks had a wild 128–126 thriller over the Oklahoma City Thunder — OKC is now 0-2 to start the preseason, which is a little surprising for last year's contenders. The Orlando Magic picked up a road win in Memphis 122–118, the Indiana Pacers beat the Timberwolves 123–112 in Minneapolis, the Chicago Bulls knocked off the Phoenix Suns 124–117, and the Portland Trail Blazers upset the Golden State Warriors 123–118 at home. Preseason records don't count for much, but it's awesome to see hoops back!
🏈 NFL
No games on Wednesday — the NFL plays on weekends! Week 5 kicks off this Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs are still PERFECT at 4-0, and the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers are right there with them. Check the standings in the sidebar! 👀
