Division Series
Jose Ramirez homered and drove in three runs Thursday night, pushing the Guardians past the White Sox and forcing a winner-take-all Game 5 in Cleveland. The ALDS returns to Cleveland with the series level, as the Guardians rocked Chicago in Game.
In New York, Victor Mesa Jr. hit the home run that ended the Yankees' season, as the Rays completed a sweep to reach the ALCS.

A fan interference call in the sixth inning of Game 3 also cost New York a chance at a tying two-run homer.

The Brewers advanced to the NLCS after a late win over the Padres, sealed when Garrett Mitchell robbed Manny Machado of a potential game-tying home run. The Dodgers also reached a third straight NLCS, with No. 9 hitter Andy Pages delivering the decisive hit.
