Playoff Gameday: Game two for both NLDS play on Sunday

AL teams off on Sunday, with both NLDS playing

Only one of the four road teams won on Saturday, the first day of the Divisional Series. The Mets scored six runs in the final two innings to complete a come-from-behind win against the Phillies in game one.

The Guardians jumped all over the Tigers early, eventually winning 7-0. The Royals and Yankees game went back and forth, with an Alex Verdugo RBI single the difference.

Finally, Ohtani hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the second inning, with the Dodgers erasing a pair of deficits before winning against the Padres.
