Dodgers, Astros Stay Alive Plus Saban Tests Positive For Coronavirus In Today’s Sports Update

The Dodgers roughed up the Atlanta Braves’ pitching staff for the first time this postseason – and it happened historically. Starter Kyle Wright failed to get out of the first inning in Game 3 of the NLCS, allowing seven runs to the Los Angeles Dodgers in only two-thirds of an inning before being removed. By the time the frame ended with left-hander Grant Dayton on the mound, the Dodgers had scored 11 runs, the most in any one inning in postseason history. Every L.A. hitter reached base once during the historical frame, and all nine scored at least one run. LA won the game 15-3 but trailed the series 2
-1.
The Houston Astros live to see another day. After losing three straight games to the Tampa Bay Rays to kick off the American League Championship Series, the Astros bounced back with a Game 4 victory, beating the AL’s top seed 4-3 to avoid the sweep.
