The Dodgers scored 11 runs in the first inning, and routed the Braves 15-3. Three home runs in the historic inning included a grand slam by Max Muncy. Atlanta still leads the National League Championship Series 2-1.
The Astros held off the Rays 4-3. Tampa Bay scored one in the top of the ninth to make it close, and left a runner stranded at third base. The Rays still lead the American League Championship Series 3-1.
Both series continue tonight.
The Tigers have interviewed Marcus Thames for their open managerial job. Thames played six seasons as an outfielder in Detroit. He’s currently the New York Yankees’ hitting coach.
