MLB Playoffs: Twins tie series, NLDS game two preview

Both NLDS start again with game two

The Baltimore Orioles have dug themselves in quite a hole, as the series will be shifting to Texas with the Rangers up 2-0 in their best of five ALDS.

Texas jumped all over rookie Grayson Rodriguez in the second inning, scoring five runs in the second inning, and nine total in the first three frames.

Baltimore rallied late but it wasn’t enough, and they now find themselves one loss away from elimination.

Backed by Pablo Lopez’s seven shutout innings, the Minnesota Twins tied up their series against the Houston Astros.

Former Astro Carlos Correa picked up three hits, as well as driving in three runs, leading the Twins’ offense.
