Both the ALDS and NLDS began Saturday as the Major League Baseball playoffs resumed after a two-day absence. The Diamondbacks, Phillies, Astros and Rangers all won Game 1, while Arizona, Philadelphia and Texas all won on the road. The two ALDS series – Orioles-Rangers and Astros-Twins – continue on Sunday, while the NLDS series is paused until Monday.
The Diamondbacks and Phillies earned surprising wins on the road against the Dodgers and Braves, respectively. Arizona shellacked Clayton Kershaw in the worst postseason start of his Hall of Fame career. The Diamondbacks scored six runs against Kershaw, who recorded just one out early in Game 1.
The Phillies won a thrilling 3-0 victory in Atlanta. Seven Phillies pitchers teamed up to shut out the powerful Braves, who hadn’t been shut out at home since August 2021.
The Astros and Rangers have a chance to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the ALDS on Sunday. Houston held off a late comeback attempt by the Twins in their first playoff game of the season on Saturday. The Orioles, meanwhile, struggled to find much offense as they lost 3-2 at Camden Yards in their first home playoff game since 2014.
The playoff field started with 12 teams, but the Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated in the Wild Card Series.
