The Opener: NLDS, Yankees, Managerial Searches
"The Phillies will be looking to avoid dropping a second consecutive home game to the Dodgers after Teoscar Hernandez's three-run homer gave Los Angeles a 5-3 lead they would not relinquish. At 6:08pm local time this evening, a duel between opposing lefties will begin as two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell steps up for the Dodgers to face off against Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo."
"Three hours later (8:08pm local time), the Brewers will take the field and try to put the Cubs on the brink of elimination while Chicago will try to put Saturday's 9-3 drubbing in the past and send a tied series to Wrigley Field. Lefty Shota Imanaga will be on the mound for the Cubs today. The Brewers will use fellow southpaw Aaron Ashby as an opener with right-hander Quinn Priester likely to handle bulk innings."
NLDS resumes with games in Philadelphia and Milwaukee. The Phillies seek to avoid a second straight home loss after Teoscar Hernandez's three-run homer put the Dodgers up 5-3. Blake Snell starts for Los Angeles against Jesus Luzardo. Later, the Brewers aim to push the Cubs to the brink while Chicago tries to rebound from a 9-3 loss; Shota Imanaga will start and the Brewers plan to use Aaron Ashby as an opener with Quinn Priester for bulk innings. The Yankees must win three straight elimination games after being no-hit through 5 1/3 innings by Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage, who helped the Jays score 13 runs by the sixth. Skip Schumaker was hired in Texas to replace Bruce Bochy, and managerial vacancies remain in Colorado, Baltimore, San Francisco, Minnesota, Atlanta and Anaheim.
