Following the most competitive Wild-Card Round to date, the Major League Baseball playoffs are down to the final eight teams, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs and ** having advanced, while the Milwaukee Brewers, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners coming off of the bye.

Alejandro Kirk homered twice as the Toronto Blue Jays routed the New York Yankees 10-1 on Saturday in game one of their Major League Baseball playoff series. That pulled them within 2-1, but the Blue Jays put up four runs in the seventh and Kirk added his second home run in a four-run eighth as the Blue Jays turned it into a blowout for their first playoff win since 2016.
