In one of my last blogs, I talked about the wildcard races for the NL in the MLB. There were only 5 games left in the regular season and for the NL Central and the NL West, there was a little surprise in store. For the NL Central, two teams were fighting for their spot the Brewers and Cubs faced off in an extra game because their records both stood at 95-67 so whoever won would secure there spot in the playoffs and clinch the divisional championship. The Brewers scored a run in the 3rd and the Cubs scored 1 in the 5th. The game would stay tied until the 8th when the Brewers would score 2 runs and keep the Cubs at 1. The Brewers would go on to win 3-1. In the NL West, the Dodgers would face off against the Rockies because yet again their records were tied at 91-71. The Dodgers would win 5-2 by scoring 2 runs in the 4th 2 in the 5th and 1 in the 6th while keeping the Rockies at 2 runs.
And last night Oct. 2 the Rockies would face off against the Cubs in the NL wildcard. The pitching was solid the entire game except for the first inning when the Rockies would get a quick score in the top of the 1st and then the Cubs would score late in the 8th and would send the game into extra innings. The Rockies would win in the 13th on Wolter’s go-ahead run. Recap: In the NL Central the Brewers beat the Cubs 3-1, in the NL West the Dodgers beat the Rockies 5-2 and in the wildcard, the Rockies would go on to beat the Cubs in a close game 2-1 in the 13th inning.
