Aaron Harang sets a Dodgers record with 9 consecutive strikeouts after giving up a lead-off single to San Diego’s Cameron Maybin; Will Venable then homers to lead off the 4th. Johnny Podres had struck out 8 consecutive batters on July 2, 1962 for the franchise record and Harang falls one short of Tom Seaver’s all-time record. He finishes with 13 Ks in 6 1/3 innings and leaves with an 8 – 3 lead, but the bullpen then gets to work to sabotage that lead, with the Padres tying the score with 2 runs in the top of the 9th. Andrew Cashner retires the first two Los Angeles batters in the bottom of the 9th, before he walks the bases loaded; Joe Thatcher replaces him and walks Andre Ethier, forcing in the winning run and providing an anticlimactic ending to the game, with the final score 9 – 8.

The NLDS game between the Cubs and the Nationals is a true pitchers’ duel between Kyle Hendricks and Stephen Strasburg. Chicago does not get its first hit until 2 are out in the top of the 6th, by Kris Bryant, but it scores Javier Baez who had reached on an error by 3B Anthony Rendon. Bryant takes second on the throw from the outfield and scores on Anthony Rizzo’s single, and those two unearned runs are all Chicago needs, as they go on to win 3 – 0 and Washington only manages 2 hits.

Nursing a 3 – 0 lead resulting from Jay Bruce’s 6th-inning homer with two on, Arroyo walks George Kottaraswith one out, then Tyler Green doubles to break the no-hitter. Another double by pinch-hitter Corey Hart and a single by Norichika Aoki ties the game. Arroyo leaves with a no-decision. Sean Marshall inherits the win when Drew Stubbs homers to lead off the bottom of the 8th, and Aroldis Chapman picks up his 9th save by striking out the side, celebrating with a double forward somesault.
