Are you ready?
MLB put together this incredible hype video for the postseason.
Drama in D.C.
And here we thought the only drama in Washington was happening in politics. Things started off well for Milwaukee. The Brewers hit two home runs accounting for a three-run lead off Max Scherzer in the first two innings. Their dugout was lit.
But the Nats hung around long enough to make it interesting. Juan Soto provided the game-winning hit against Josh Hader with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning to advance the Nationals to the NLDS. They’ll fly across the country to face the Dodgers.
Soto celebrated with his family after the clutch hit.
