On the MLB Post Season podcast with Stephen:

#1 Stephen Cleveland almost had this game. The Guardians had a 3-1 lead through six innings but the Yankees rallied in the top of the eighth inning for three runs to take a 5-3 lead. The Guardians would come back and tie up the game in the bottom of the ninth 5-5. The Guardians a team never to give up scored another two runs in the bottom of the tenth for the 7-5 win and pick up their first win of the ALCS.

#2 In the bottom of the ninth inning down 5-3 the Guardians sent up pinch hitter Jhonkensky Noel who belted a 404 foot home run to left field to tie up the game. Sometimes you never know what the pinch hitter is going to do. The Guardians got a game winning home run in the bottom of the tenth when David Fry hit a two run shot to left center for 399 feet to end the evening with a 7-5 win.

#3 In spite of the New York Mets walking Shohei Ohtani three times Ohtani did enough damage hitting a home run in the first inning scored a run in the third, and scored another run in the after Mookie Betts homered in the sixth inning.

#4 Dodgers Tommy Edman had a night at the plate against the Mets with a third inning RBI double, a two run RBI double in the eighth. Mookie Betts with a fourth inning two run RBI double, Betts with the homer in the sixth and scored on Will Smith’s RBI single in the eighth inning.

#5 Dodgers take a 3-1 lead in the series and could wrap it up in game five on Friday afternoon a 2:08pm PT first pitch at Citi Park. The Mets have absolutely struggled in this series in trying to figure out the Dodgers.
