Great pitching all around but Wells trying for third was a stupendously poor decision.
Break for a bit of the UFC, now to

Padres have had nine men on base and nada. No mas. That’s not gonna work in Milwaukee, esse.
Long ball. Milwaukee up 3-2.

All good games! Day 2, now!

Bottom 8– CLE gets a big hit. 4-3! Gulp!
Bottom 9-
Aaaand— no spoiler. 
Onto the main event:
Yankees @ Tampa Bay
Schlittler has not found his rhythm yet. Tough first ten pitches. Game feels long already! 
2 errors already. Jazz knows what he did. Shame!
And catchers interference. Fuck! E2. Jazz again with a shit throw to second:
0-1 TB.
It’s a pitch count game now IMO. Cam at 40+, Peralta in the 20s.
4: Rice homer. Belenger on. Yanks are jumping in first pitches. Garcia pops up. Jones: takes outside, hits to second safe on first .two outs. Lombard: pop out.
Ok— that’s better .1-1 and Cam sits them down 1,2,3.
Wells doubles with two outs. TB BP up
And getting loose. No Leash tonight. Walk, and Peralta is pulled.
Booser comes in and walks Rice. Bases loaded. Two outs .
Aaaand looong foul ball. Loooong 400 fly out.
Rays get a run and Lombard boots a play at home. 3-1. Boone pulls Cam.
There’s a lot of game
Left, but it seems over. TB 5-1
White Sox a surprise to me, thought NYY would be doing better
Sadly, I did not
Ok, shrug off the Yankees record setting error debacle and move on
LAD @ ATL.
Yamamoto on the moundo for LA. Bottom 2 no score.
ATL has Sale on the mound .
Top 3, two outs . LA has runners on first and third— Ohtani up. Gets on. Next dude immediately pops out .
As Roger Waters said, this will not do.
Hernandez breaks the egg with a two run shot! And Freddy friggin Freeman follows suit! LA up 3-0.
The stat that didn’t last: Chris Sale is the 8th pitcher in MLB history with 6 Ks through the first two innings of a #Postseason game!
ATL scratching back. 3-1
But they cannot get to that itch.
LAD leads the series 2-1.
Ok, Brewers can clinch the NLCS spot with a win.
SD closer Miller was placed on paternity leave as his wife went into labor Tuesday.
Yamamoto was very solid; just one inning was a bit shaky.
The Dodgers show their experience; they don’t get rattled easily.
