One team was eliminated from the MLB postseason Tuesday. After a 101-win regular season, the top-seeded Baltimore Orioles fell to the Texas Rangers in the ALDS. On Wednesday, two other teams — the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers — could fall.
The first game on the docket Wednesday was a blowout, in favor of the home team. The Philadelphia Phillies took a 2-1 lead over the Atlanta Braves with a 10-2 win, tying an MLB single-game postseason record with six home runs in the process. Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos each hit two of those, while Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh contributed the other two.
The Houston Astros and Twins are the second game on the slate Wednesday. After a win in Game 3 on Tuesday, the Astros can close out the series with a win in Game 4. Limiting Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, who went 3-for-5 with a home run in Game 3, will be key for Minnesota.
The final game features the Dodgers battling the Arizona Diamondbacks to stay in the playoffs. After an excellent regular season, the Dodgers find themselves on the brink of elimination after falling in Game 1 and Game 2. Lance Lynn will oppose Brandon Pfaadt with the Dodgers’ season on the line.
