Both Dodgers and Cubs were chasing history in yesterday's NL Wild Card game. The Cubs would score three runs in the bottom of the first with a Stephen Cross home run, along with a couple knocks. The Dodgers answered right back in the next inning with a two-run dinger from Ryan Cross, making it a close 3-2 game. Dodgers starting pitcher Evan Cross was able to limit the Cubs to one run in the bottom half. In the top of the third inning, the Dodgers got a couple hits and threatened to tie and perhaps take the lead. But the Cubs got three straight K's to end the game and punch their ticket to the NLDS against the Cardinals for the third straight season. Final score, 4-3. When asked about the Wild Card loss, Evan voiced his frustration about his team's performance. "We couldn't get hits consistently. We are going to try and improve that next year during the tournament." The Dodgers are scheduled to play the Padres in the Wild Card Series next season. Meanwhile for the Cubs, they will face the defending league champion Cardinals in the divison series for the third straight season. "It was a good game,'' Stephen said. "I thought I pitched pretty well. My movement was there for most of the game...made a couple of mistakes, but they happen. Offense could be better. Very happy for the Cubs." 

With the Blue Jays and Rockies both wrapping up their seasons respectively with one game left, they are both on the verge of being eliminated from the postseason. Both teams at 0-2, they look to win just one game to keep their hopes alive. The first year Blue Jays were ranked #1 in the AL preseason power rankings before the season began and so far, the Jays have been suprisingly horrible. The have been shutout in both of their games against the Padres and the Mariners. With run differential being a huge key to make the playoffs, along with season record, the Blue Jays have the second worst RD (run differential) in the league. Evan Cross and the Blue Jays might have to wait until next season to make a run to the postseason. The Rockies are surprisingly not very good at all this year to say the least. The loss to Chicago and Miami really took a toll on the franchise. The Rockies are the worst in run differential in the league and have one of the worst offensive teams in team history. Going all the way back to 2012, this is the worst the Rockies have ever been as a franchise, having lost 4 straight games. If the Rockies are unable to make the postseason, it would be the first time in franchise history to not make the playoffs. With their last game against the Dodgers later this season, Stephen Cross will most likely take the mound and look to give Colorado a win. This very well might not be the year for the Rockies as well. It will all play out in the final week of the season!
