The MLB playoffs saw some major developments yesterday, with the two most recent World Series champions, the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, both now on the brink of elimination at the hands of a fierce rival.
Today, the NL's top two seeds will look to stay alive on the road and give themselves a win-or-go-home Game 5 at home. The action will start with Atlanta taking on the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, with the first pitch scheduled for 2:07 p.m. Eastern.
Yesterday, the Phillies rode a six-run third inning and six strong innings by Aaron Nola to claim a 9- 1 win and move within a win of a trip to the NLCS.
Atlanta has been one of the league's best teams in bouncing back from losses this season, and they got the job done in Game 2 of this series after a tough loss in Game 1.
