It was a stunning Saturday in the 2022 MLB playoffs. Three teams — the Padres, Astros and Phillies — punched their tickets to the LCS round, while the Yankees blew a late lead and now have their backs against the wall in the ALDS. The National League’s top two teams both were sent packing yesterday, as the Padres ousted the 111-win Dodgers and the Phillies knocked out the defending champion Braves. The NL’s two lowest seeds will meet in the NLCS, starting Tuesday.
In the American League, the Astros finished a sweep of the Mariners, but needed 18 innings to do so in a bizarre 1-0 win. In the only LDS matchup left, the Guardians lead the Yankees, 2-1, after a ninth-inning rally on Saturday night. They meet again Sunday night in Cleveland with New York facing elimination in Game 4.
These playoffs began with 12 teams, but the Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated last weekend in the Wild Card Series. The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the American League and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) received byes and started their postseason journeys in the LDS round on Tuesday. With the Wild Card Series and three of the four Division Series in the books, the high stakes best-of-seven League Championship Series will start in San Diego on Tuesday and in Houston on Wednesday. The best-of-seven World Series is scheduled to start on Friday, Oct. 28.
Below you’ll find the schedule and results for every round of the postseason.
