Dodger bats come alive in Game 3
Back home and facing a 2-0 deficit in the NLCS, the Dodgers put up five runs in the first and rode another strong postseason outing by Hiroki Kuroda to a 7-2 Game 3 victory. The 33-year-old Japanese import, who tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings to earn the win in the decisive Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs, improved to 2-0 this October by allowing two runs on five hits in six-plus innings of work. Blake DeWitt provided the big hit with a three-run triple during L.A.'s first-inning outburst. Tempers flared in the third when Kuroda nearly hit Philly's Shane Victorino in the head. The benches emptied, but no punches were thrown. By Jay LeBlanc.

Shallow sac fly ends epic slugfest
Game 1 of the ALCS featured a thrilling pitchers' duel between Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka and Tampa Bay's James Shields, and more of the same was expected in Game 2 with Josh Beckett taking the hill for the Red Sox and Scott Kazmir for the Rays. Instead, the A.L. East rivals treated fans to a five-plus hour slugfest that featured seven homers and 17 runs. The Rays edged the Sox 9-8 when Fernando Perez raced home on B.J. Upton's shallow sac fly in the bottom of the 11th, tying the series at a game apiece as the teams head to Boston. By Jay LeBlanc.
