The Brewers are attempting a bullpen game to claim this Game 5 of the NLDS, a feat that requires all parts to fire crisply. But after lefty Aaron Ashby allowed a hit and hit a batter to start the sixth – he did strike out Kyle Tucker to fulfill the three-batter minimum – Patrick, a rookie, was asked to clean it up.

The Seattle Mariners regained a 3-2 lead of the ALCS after beating the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 in Game 5. Eugenio Suarez hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning to lift the Mariners to victory.

Game 2 of the World Series will be on Fox and FS1. Play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and Hall of Famer John Smoltz are on the call for Fox along with reporters Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci, offering musings from Los Angeles and Toronto's dugouts.

Blake Snell absolutely dominated the Brewers for eight innings, but Milwaukee still had the bases loaded in the ninth of a gut-punch Game 1 loss.
