Both of the National League Division Series are right back in action on Wednesday after playing Tuesday night. The Dodgers took a 2-1 series lead behind a dominant performance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7 IP, 1 R, 10 K) and home runs from Enrique Hernandez and Freddie Freeman. The Padres fought off elimination by defeating the Brewers 4-3 thanks in large part due to starter Michael King coming out of the bullpen to get a two-inning save.
