Game Three is always the important game of any seven-game series. By winning it Monday night, the Dodgers stay very much alive in NLCS.
In 2006 and 2012, Detroit swept the ALCS only to wait around for their NL opponent. And then the Tigers lost the World Series.
The St. Louis Cardinals win back-to-back home games started by Los Angeles aces Zack Grienke and Clayton Kershaw, while Boston gets no-hit for eight-plus innings in losing to the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.

If Shelby Miller reaches his potential, he'll be just another superstar to come up through the Cardinals' ranks.
Two more wins and the San Francisco Giants are in the World Series once again. To get there, there are three things that will help them get there.

The Giants slug six homers on Sunday to win their eighth straight, offering a glimmer of hope for postseason play.
