After Alex Vesia worked a 10-pitch strikeout of Harrison Bader to leave the go-ahead run stranded on second in the top half of the inning, Tommy Edman lined a single into left field. Max Muncy hit one up the middle just past the diving glove of Trea Turner to put runners on the corners with two outs and chased Luzardo from the game.

The miracle run continued Saturday with a 3-2 walk-off hit-by-pitch win over the Texas Rangers ( box score ). While the furious fight for the AL Central title is ongoing, the Guardians are playoff-bound for the seventh time in the last 10 seasons.

One batter later, Anthony Volpe tried to get a force out at third base but spiked a ball to Jazz Chisholm Jr. for another error. Gerrit Cole recovered with back-to-back strikeouts, but the Dodgers quickly poured on a game-tying five runs after what should have been the fourth out of the inning.

The Seattle Mariners have never won it all. The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to end a 32-year drought. But before they can play for a World Series title, they have to play each other for the AL pennant.
