Everything You Missed from the MLB Playoffs So Far!

The White Sox swept the Astros, winning their first playoff game in five years and advancing to face the Guardians in the ALDS. We cover their 6–3 and 7–3 wins, Hagan Smith’s strong start, Chase Meidroth’s big series, and how Chicago went from less than a 1% chance to make the playoffs to winning a series. The Yankees swept the Red Sox and will play the Rays in the ALDS. We recap Cam Schlittler’s 10-strikeout outing, Ben Rice’s grand slam, and New York’s 9–0 and 9–2 wins. The Padres swept the Cubs to advance to the NLDS against the Brewers. Michael King took a no-hitter into the seventh in Game 1, and San Diego finished the series with a 4–1 win. We also get into Ethan Salas becoming the youngest catcher to appear in a postseason game and the Cubs’ quiet offense. The Phillies and Braves split their first two games. Austin Riley’s three-run homer put Atlanta ahead in Game 1, then Bryce Harper answered with a solo homer after an earlier fielding error as Philadelphia rallied to tie Game 2 before Alec Bohm’s solo shot in extra innings. Game 3 is today at 5 PM, with the winner moving on to face the defending champion Dodgers in the NLDS. Follow Beam City Sports: @beamcitysports Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
