Lourdes Gurriel Jr drove in a two runs via single in the first and a solo-shot to left field in the sixth inning to do his part in the DBacks 4-2 win over the Dodgers to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their NLDS series. Gurriel is second on his team this postseason with four RBIs. Arizona will now be home at Chase Field with Brandon Pfaadt on the mound looking to put a stranglehold on the series.
J.D. Martínez went yard, knocked a run and scored a run in defeat. The native of Miami continues to excel with the lumber this postseason hitting a robust .333 and has posted an impressive 1.333 OPS.

Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless ninth to notch his first career playoff save and secure a Braves 5-4 comeback victory versus the Phillies to even their ALDS series at one. The right-hander from the Isle of Youth saw his average fall to 7.20 in the postseason. Iglesias posted a 1.84 earned run average after the All-Star break.
Nick Castellanos collected two hits and scored a run in four trips to the plate to aid the Phillies cause. The Cuban-American outfielder is hitting .250 on the postseason and has also driven in a run. In 101 career postseason at-bats he has knocked in nine runs. Philly now goes home having accomplished the mission of taling a game in Atlanta.
