LA Dodgers one win away from World Series, Cleveland Guardians battle back

The GIST: From the soaring viewership numbers to the down-to-the-wire on-field action, these MLB playoffs have already been a true home run. One swing of the bat can change the tide in these best-of-seven Championship Series — let’s step up to the plate with the latest.

Cleveland Guardians walk-off NY Yankees to avoid a three-game deficit: “It’s not over ’til it’s over,” the Guards, probably. Down to their final out, Cleveland’s Jhonkensy “Big Christmas” Noel blasted a two-run, game-tying home run to send things to extra innings.

• That’s where David Fry delivered a clutch walk-off two-run shot, giving the Guardians the 7–5 win and bringing the series to 2-1 in favor of the Yanks heading into tonight’s 8:08 p.m. ET Game 4 from Cleveland. These boys might’ve just found their wings.

High-powered LA Dodgers one win away from World Series: LA superstars Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts blasted one home run apiece in last night’s dominant 10–2 Game 4 win over the NY Mets, putting the Blue Crew just one victory away from a 22nd franchise trip to the Fall Classic.

• The Mets have home-field advantage for a must-win Game 5 tonight at 5:08 p.m. ET, but they’ve had no answers for this explosive Dodgers offense and LA is sending lights out hurler Jack Flaherty to the mound.

• It’s going to take a whole lot of luck — and probably some Grimace Magic — to dig out of this hole.
