Jackson Chourio is putting together a record-setting October for the Brewers, with the 22-year-old star's numbers drawing comparisons to the sport's best postseason performers. Early in the playoffs, the race for this year's Mr. October is taking shape as analysts track which players are doing the most to help their teams win.
Brewers and Dodgers Set Up a Rematch
Garrett Mitchell robbed Manny Machado of a potential game-tying home run late in Milwaukee's win over the Padres, sealing a trip to the NLCS. The Brewers will face the Dodgers, after No. 9 hitter Andy Pages delivered a clutch hit that sent Los Angeles to its third straight NLCS.
Yankees Eliminated
New York's season ended in a sweep at the hands of the Rays, with Victor Mesa Jr. hitting the home run that effectively closed out the series. A fan-interference call in the sixth inning of Game 3 also cost the Yankees a chance at a tying two-run homer, a controversial moment that added to the frustration in the Bronx. Aaron Judge stayed in the home dugout to watch the elimination unfold, calling for the front office to go all in this offseason.
Guardians Force Game 5
The ALDS heads back to Cleveland after the Guardians rocked the White Sox to force a deciding Game.
