A dominant Clayton Kershaw turned into the Cardinals’ punching bag in the seventh inning of Game 1, leaving the Dodgers stunned by an eight-run inning that propelled St. Louis to a 10-9 victory in a game that was supposed to be spotlighted by the first postseason matchup of 20-game winners in 13 years.

The Cardinals need to keep the momentum going. The Dodgers need to get good vibes back in their home ballpark … in a hurry. That will be the story for Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers will try to regroup after a stunning reversal of fortune in Game 1. St. Louis’ Lance Lynn matches up against Los Angeles’ Zack Greinke.

With the exception of the dramatic final play, Jordan Zimmermann — the Nationals’ Game 2 starter in the National League Division Series vs. the Giants — hasn’t taken the time to watch any of the no-hitter he threw in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Marlins.

It was a determined Nationals club that emerged from the smoke of its Game 1 loss, the entire team understanding the magnitude of every defeat in a best-of-five series. The Giants have now won a National League-record nine consecutive postseason games since 2012. The Nationals need to halt that streak, and fast, with Game 2 scheduled for Saturday at 5:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.

The Giants don’t rely on just one way to win. They draw upon multiple resources, which accounted for how they lengthened their postseason winning streak to a National League-record nine games by outlasting the Washington Nationals in Friday’s NL Division Series opener, 3-2.

Here’s a breakdown of the pitching matchup between the Cardinals’ Lance Lynn and the Dodgers’ Zack Greinke for Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday.

The Giants’ 3-2 victory over the Nationals in Game 1 of the National League Division Series was their typical combination of fine pitching, solid defense and just enough timely hitting.

Jake Peavy has had a lot of success in his career. Not much of it has happened in the postseason, though. And it didn’t take long after the Giants right-hander shut down the Nationals on two hits for 5 2/3 innings on Friday for him to be asked if his previous struggles made this success any more satisfying.

Major League Baseball on Friday set the start times for the remaining games of the American League and National League Division Series. TBS will televise all ALDS games between the Tigers and Orioles. FOX Sports 1 and MLB Network will combine to air remaining NLDS games between the Giants and Nationals.

It is a statement about the state of this Tigers bullpen that the only approval its members are receiving these days comes from the shouting mouths and clapping hands of the opposition’s fans.

The Tigers’ bullpen will receive a lot of heat after Game 2 — and rightfully so — but a baserunning blunder in the top of the eighth inning loomed just as large for a Detroit team that suddenly finds itself down 0-2 in the American League Division Series.

Delmon Young is no stranger to the big stage, and he showed why during Game 2 of the Orioles’ American League Division Series against the Tigers. Coming off the bench in the eighth, his bases-loaded double stole a win away from the Tigers and allowed his team to leave Baltimore with a 7-6 victory and a 2-0 ALDS advantage.

Delmon Young came off the bench and sent the crowd into a frenzy as he roped the first pitch he saw into left field for a three-run double to cap a thrilling 7-6 comeback victory for the Orioles and a commanding 2-0 lead over the Tigers in the best-of-five set.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus discusses his club’s 7-6 loss to the Orioles in Game 2 of the American League Division Series in Baltimore.

No team had more multihomer games than the O’s, who used their power to slug past the Tigers in Game 1 of their ALDS series. While K.C. won their ALDS opener on a Mike Moustakas homer in the 11th, the Royals again showed that they could find a way to win with one or fewer long balls in a game.

Their eyes clear, their voices calm and reasoned, the AL West champion Angels took their 3-2 loss to the Royals in 11 innings as more of an occupational hazard than a jarring blow to the psyche.

For the Angels to avoid going into Kansas City on the brink of elimination, they need the big bats to step up and they’re looking for a big start from Matt Shoemaker.
