Dodgers And Brewers Advance, Yankees Are Out: 4 Takeaways From Division Series Slate

The Dodgers and Brewers are set for another collision course, while the Yankees simply imploded.

We're down to five teams left with World Series hopes.

In the National League, we'll have a rematch of last year's NLCS.

And in the American League, the Rays swept the Yankees and now await the winner of the White Sox-Guardians series for a chance at the World Series.

Here are our takeaways from Wednesday's action: Rowan Kavner: Before the National League Division Series shifted from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gave a vote of confidence to his struggling All-Star center fielder.

After going 4-for-51 in the postseason during the Dodgers’ 2025 World Series run, Andy Pages started this October hitless in the first two games of the NLDS.

He also was banished from using ABS challenges again after another failed attempt in a year full of them.

But Roberts stuck by the 25-year-old outfielder, who was one of the Dodgers’ most productive players this season.

"I’m gonna continue to give Andy leash," Roberts said.

"I believe in him.

I feel that for us to win the World Series this year, we’re gonna need him to be an active part of our team." Roberts just wanted to see better at-bats from the whiff-prone outfielder, who had struck out in half of his plate appearances over Games 1 and 2.

The Dodgers’ manager didn’t have to wait long.

Pages responded with two hits and a run scored in Game 3, then delivered a game-breaking, series-sealing, two-run knock in Wednesday’s Game 4 to send the Dodgers through to the National League Championship Series in a 4-1 win.

"I've been preparing myself all series for a moment like that," Pages said.
