In the dugout, the Texas Rangers looked at one another and shrugged. Surprised? Absolutely not. If a single moment could sum up an entire season, this would be it.

Zack Greinke, who’ll oppose Noah Syndergaard on Saturday in Game 2 of the National League Division Series, had the privilege Friday of watching three left-handed hitters who’ll probably start Game 2 for the Mets: Curtis Granderson, Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda.

The conventional school of thought suggests that teams opening a postseason series away from home simply try to “steal one on the road.” The Mets, however, already have their “one on the road.” It’s time for them to get greedy.

Rangers reliever Keone Kela said he is not going to let Friday’s confrontation with Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson change the way he pitches or approaches his job.

LaTroy Hawkins emerged from the challenges, having chosen baseball as his path to a better future when he graduated from Gary’s West Side High School in 1991.

Cal Ripken Jr. acknowledged interest in the Nationals’ managing job for the first time publicly on Friday, when during a radio interview he said he would “answer the phone” if Washington called.

Five years ago, Kendrys Morales broke his left ankle after jumping on home plate in Anaheim. Now, he’s hitting homers for the Royals when it counts most.

In out-pitching Clayton Kershaw, upending the Dodgers and inverting home-field advantage during the Mets’ 3-1 win Friday in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, Jacob deGrom did not merely justify his place on a list of the game’s top pitchers. He cemented it, stamped it, left no shred of doubt.

Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor can still remember the time he turned an unassisted triple play — at the age of four.

David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez reached magical milestones, Madison Bumgarner took Clayton Kershaw deep, Eddie Rosario and Steven Matz made historic big league debuts, Todd Frazier was a hometown hero during All-Star Week, Edwin Encarnacion had a hat trick, and Wilmer Flores proved there is definitely crying in baseball.

One of those eight will be the Best Moment of 2015.

Clayton Kershaw struck out 11 in 6 2/3 innings but suffered another postseason loss Friday night as he was out-dueled by Jacob deGrom in a 3-1 Mets win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium.

With Sandy Koufax in attendance, Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom delivered a performance on Friday night worthy of the Brooklyn native and greatest living Dodger.

Friday’s four postseason games featured everything from extra-inning drama to record-setting performances.

Here’s a look at some of the top moments, courtesy of @MLBGIFs, from a full day of Division Series action that saw the Rangers take a 2-0 series lead over the Blue Jays with a 6-4, 14-inning victory; the Royals even their series with the Astros with a 5-4 win in Game 2; the Cardinals open with a 4-0 shutout of the Cubs; and the Mets beat the Dodgers in Game 1 of their series.

The Blue Jays have replaced injured lefty reliever Brett Cecil on their American League Division Series roster with rookie right-hander Ryan Tepera.

Ben Zobrist singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning off Astros reliever Will Harris, scoring Alcides Escobar, and the Royals’ bullpen tossed three scoreless innings in a pulsating 5-4 win on Friday at Kauffman Stadium as Kansas City evened the American League Division Series at 1-1.

The Rangers got four straight hits with two outs in the 14th inning to rally for a 6-4 win over the Blue Jays on Friday at Rogers Centre. The best-of-five American League Division Series heads to Arlington with Texas up 2-0.
