MLB Division Series Roundup: Padres Stay Alive, Dodgers Put Braves On Brink

The Dodgers took control of their NL Division Series on Tuesday night, and the Padres ensured they'll have one more game – and another chance to rock out to "All The Small Things." In Atlanta, Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out a postseason career-high 10 in seven innings as Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman homered in the same inning against Braves ace Chris Sale for a 3-1 Los Angeles win.

The Dodgers lead the series 2-1 and are one win from the NLCS in their bid for a third straight World Series title.

In San Diego, Jake Cronenworth hit a solo shot and Xander Boegarts scored on a throwing error to help the Padres beat the Brewers 4-3.

That means the Brewers, who lead the series 2-1, will try to advance on Wednesday to their second straight NLCS.

In the AL, Wednesday brings the ALDS Game 3s, with the White Sox and Rays each up 2-0 and the Guardians and Yankees on the brink.

Here is what stood out from Day 4 of the MLB Division Series: Every game in the Brewers vs.

Padres series has been a nail-biter, and Game 3 in front of a raucous and packed Petco Park in San Diego proved no different.

With clutch hits and some beautiful defensive plays, we kind of don't want this series to end.

Thankfully, we'll have a Game 4 as the Padres held onto a 4-3 win.

In fact, every game in this series has been decided by one run.

The deciding moment was a wacky play in the bottom of the sixth inning when baserunner Xander Bogaerts showed off some nifty athleticism by avoiding the barrel of Miguel Andojar's broken-bat grounder.

Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt's errant throw to first was bobbled by Jake Bauers, allowing Bogaerts to scoot home.

Kudos to Padres pitcher Michael King, as well, who came in the eighth inning in relief to earn his first save since 2023 when he was with the Yankees.

He showed some guts in the ninth when he got the Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich to ground out into a double play to secure the win.
