Tuesday's lineup proved the best baseball night of the season. What's next in this winner-take-all week?
On a wild night of baseball, the Padres' game-ending triple play -- to clinch a playoff spot! -- might have been the wildest.
On Tuesday, I started the evening focused on the Mets-Braves showdown in Atlanta but ended up flipping to various games, tuned into MLB Network's"MLB Big Inning" , had other games on my phone then closed it out with Padres-Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. I got a text from a Mariners fan friend after the loss . Then he sent a post pointing this out:"Division titles since John Fisher -- arguably the worst current in major American professional sports -- bought the Oakland A's: Oakland 4, Seattle 0.". Kirby is coming off back-to-back gems against Texas, but Kikuchi has been even hotter: The Astros have won all nine of his starts since picking him up from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline.
The Royals began the day tied with Tigers for the second and third wild cards, with the Twins a game behind. K.C. had lost seven in a row, including three to the Tigers, and had scored four runs their past five games and were coming off consecutive shutout losses to the Giants. Those kinds of losing streaks, when the offense just can't do anything, are just as tough to take as those when the bullpen blows a bunch of late leads. It feels like you're never going to score again.
