MLB Wild Card Series: Dodgers Bats Come Alive After Day of Pitching Duels

The road to the World Series begins now. 

Four MLB Wild Card Series commenced on Tuesday to begin the postseason. Leading off the day, the Detroit Tigers rode a dominant outing from Tarik Skubal to beat the AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians, 2-1.

The Chicago Cubs won Game 1 of their series over the visiting San Diego Padres, 3-1, thanks to solo homers by Nico Hoerner and Seiya Suzuki.

The Boston Red Sox took down their bitter AL East rival, the New York Yankees, in the Bronx, 3-1 behind another pitching gem from Garrett Crochet.

Rounding out the day, the defending World Series champions, Los Angeles Dodgers, were the only team with hot bats. They beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-5 behind two-home-run days from both Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez.

Here were the top moments from Game 1 of all four MLB wild-card round series.
