After the first two games of the series, things resumed in Los Angeles with the Brewers fighting for their playoff lives in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. Tyler Glasnow wasn't as sharp as last time out or as the first two starters of the series, but he limited the damage during his time in the game, handing things over to the pen that went 3.1 scoreless innings after being extremely well rested.
The Pirates may have been abysmal again but have remained appointment viewing thanks to Paul Skenes, whose highlight reels make you question physics. It's not just his raw pace, throwing 100mph+ deep into games, but his mastery of late-moving variations that mean batters can't pick whether it's a sweeper or a splinker until it's already behind them.
Despite multiple comeback attempts, Miami dropped the series opener to the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-5, in front of a lively crowd of 16,715 fans. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough praised the atmosphere, stating, 'Our crowd tonight was great, and it was a lively, festive environment that gave us a lot of support.' Miami showed resilience, battling back to tie the game at one point, but ultimately lost after the Brewers regained the lead in the eighth.
