Dodgers 6, Cubs 1
Chris Taylor homered and drove in two runs, and Yu Darvish
allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers
moved to within a victory of the National League pennant with a
6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
The Dodgers, who last reached the World Series in 1988, can
advance with a win in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series on
Wednesday at Wrigley Field.
Darvish struck out seven, scattered six hits and walked just one
as Los Angeles took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven NLCS.
Darvish also drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the
sixth inning.
Taylor broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a 444-foot solo
home run to dead center field. Taylor provided the Dodgers with
a 3-1 lead with a fifth-inning RBI triple down the third base
line that scored Joc Pederson, who led off with a double.
Yankees 6, Astros 4
Gary Sanchez hit a tiebreaking, two-run double with one out in
the eighth inning as New York stormed back to beat Houston and
even the American League Championship Series 2-2.
Aaron Judge started the comeback by opening homering off Astros
starter Lance McCullers Jr. on the first pitch of the seventh.
Judge then tied the game in the eighth with a long double off
the left field wall against Ken Giles (0-1).
After Judge moved to third on a base hit by Didi Gregorius,
Sanchez laced Giles' 2-0 fastball to deep center field, scoring
both runners. McCullers held the Yankees to one run on two hits
in six-plus innings before the Astros' bullpen imploded.
