MLB Playoffs Update: Mets, Yankees Move Ahead; Tigers, Dodgers Keep It Alive

The MLB playoffs gave us a wild ride recently. Some teams made history, some stayed alive, and a few big names came through when it really mattered. Here’s a breakdown of what went down, told like someone explaining it over a cup of coffee — not a press conference.

Mets Knock Out Phillies with Lindor's Slam

The New York Mets are heading to the National League Championship Series (NLCS), and honestly, they earned it. The whole game felt tense, and for five innings, no one scored. Then, in the sixth, Francisco Lindor changed everything with one swing — a grand slam that sent the crowd at Citi Field into a frenzy.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mets beat Phillies 4-1 in Game 4.

  • Lindor hit a grand slam in the sixth inning.

  • First playoff series win at Citi Field (in 16 years of the stadium’s existence).

  • Mets now move on to the NLCS.

Yankees Beat Royals, Set for ALCS Showdown

The Yankees did what they usually do in October — they came through when it mattered. It wasn’t easy, though. They were tied with the Royals until Giancarlo Stanton launched a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, giving New York the edge.

Highlights:

  • Yankees win Game 4: 3-2 over the Royals.

  • Stanton had 3 hits, 2 RBIs, and even stole a base.

  • New York wins the series 3-1.

  • Yankees will now face the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS.

 

Tigers Take Control Against the Guardians

Detroit isn’t messing around. They blanked the Guardians in Game 3 and now lead the series 2-1. What’s more impressive is that the Guardians haven’t scored a single run in their last 20 innings — the Tigers’ pitching has been on point.

What Stood Out:

  • Tigers win 3-0 in Game 3.

  • Guardians haven’t scored in 20 straight innings.

  • Six Tigers pitchers combined for the shutout.

  • Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson drove in key runs.

Series Score:

Team Wins
Tigers 2
Guardians 1

Dodgers Even Things Up Against the Padres

The Dodgers didn’t want to go home, and they made that very clear with a dominant 8-0 win over San Diego. Their offense came alive, and their bullpen was nearly perfect. It’s now all tied up, and Game 5 is going to be huge.

Match Summary:

  • Dodgers win Game 4: 8-0 over the Padres.

  • Home runs from Mookie Betts, Will Smith, and Gavin Lux.

  • Dodgers used eight pitchers, who combined to allow only 7 hits.

  • Series now tied 2-2.

Next Up:
Game 5 at Dodger Stadium – winner takes the series.
