Brewers, Dodgers and Rays advance; Cleveland keeps its series alive

Los Angeles moved into the National League Championship Series on Wednesday with a 4–1 win over Atlanta, closing the Division Series three games to one. Andy Pages supplied a two-run single in the seventh inning, giving the clinching game a decisive late contribution.

Tampa Bay joined the advancing group with a 4–3 win over New York, completing a three-game sweep of the Yankees. The Rays closed their American League Division Series on Wednesday, removing the need for a Thursday game in that matchup.

Cleveland kept its American League Division Series alive with a 9–3 win at Chicago. The White Sox still lead the best-of-five matchup two games to one, leaving the Guardians with another game to win before a potential deciding contest.

José Ramírez went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs batted in, two runs scored and a stolen base. Jo Adell added a three-run triple. Cleveland’s pitchers combined for 19 strikeouts, pairing the offensive production with a substantial pitching performance.

Milwaukee completed the National League Championship Series matchup with a 3–1 win over San Diego, taking the Division Series three games to one. Jackson Chourio’s fifth-inning RBI single broke a 1–1 tie. Garrett Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored.

Aaron Ashby earned the win with three hitless, scoreless relief innings and three strikeouts. Trevor Megill retired all three batters in the ninth for the save, finishing the clincher and sending Milwaukee to face the Dodgers.

The official Thursday schedule now lists Cleveland at Chicago for Game 4 at 8 p.m. Eastern. TBS/HBO Max and truTV are the confirmed English-language television options. The earlier five o’clock possibility has been replaced in the current listing, making the evening window the time to watch.

No National League Division Series game appears on Thursday’s official schedule. Chicago is one win from advancing to the American League Championship Series; Cleveland must win Game 4 to force a deciding fifth game.

The Brewers–Dodgers National League Championship Series begins Sunday, October 11. The start time remains to be determined; FOX/FS1 are listed as the television outlets. No National League game is listed Thursday.
